 PROFILE
Talk America Holdings started on the national stage, but now it's rushing to go local. The company (formerly Talk.com, and before that, Tel-Save.com) sells local and long-distance phone service across the US under the TalkAmerica brand, using the Internet as a marketing lure; it has gained many of its customers through a marketing agreement with AOL Time Warner. Amid a climate of ever-falling long-distance rates, the company has evolved from reselling long-distance to offering facilities-based long-distance services to bundling local and long-distance services. Talk America operates in more than a dozen eastern, southeastern, and western states.
