STERLING, Va. -- NeuStar, Inc. (NYSE:NSR) announced today that Texas Lone Star Network, a broadband network comprised of 38 independent local exchange carriers (ILECs), has selected NeuStar to support its Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) compliance efforts. Texas Lone Star was CALEA-compliant prior to the May 14, 2007 deadline.

The CALEA compliance deadline of May 14, 2007 applied equally to all facilities-based broadband access providers and interconnected VoIP service providers, with restricted availability of compliance extensions.

NeuStar was the first fiduciary services company to offer a full suite of truly scalable legal compliance services to major carriers and smaller ILECS.

"We chose NeuStar to support our CALEA compliance efforts because the risks associated with noncompliance are very high and can cost a company a lot in penalty fees as well as lawsuits," commented Brad Seymour, interim general manager of Texas Lone Star Network. "We wanted to work with an experienced, trusted third party that services small and large carriers equally well and cost-effectively. The NeuStar solution is the only true CALEA service that has attorneys and paralegals handling the review, validation and fulfillment of legal processes to take care of our needs."

"Texas Lone Star Network has a rich history of supporting telecommunications in Texas, and we are proud to assist them in their CALEA compliance efforts," said Mike Warren, NeuStar's vice president of fiduciary services. "NeuStar was able to design a scaled solution for Texas Lone Star that minimizes their members' capital and organizational costs for compliance. NeuStar looks forward to continuing its relationship with one of the most respected service providers in Texas."
