Crosby Communications, a leading provider of converged communications and I.T. solutions,
today announced that the company's quality management system (QMS) has been awarded
ISO 9001:2000 accreditation for Sales and Distribution of Digital Media. This recognition
follows audits by the World Certification Services in 2007.
Following the success of both its national and Liverpool–based Directory Enquiries

Following its recent investigation into premium rate audience participation services, phone
watchdog ICSTIS has published a set of new regulations for TV Quiz shows, in an attempt to

Crosby announced today that its Television Audience Participation System (TAPS) has already
been upgraded in accordance with the new ICSTIS standards, and now enables TV companies to

caller's chances of getting through to any stage of a competition.
Broadcasting companies have recently come under intense scrutiny with regard to their use of
premium rate phone lines on some of their most popular programmes, causing the integrity of
current audience participation systems to be brought into question.
A high-profile investigation by phone watchdog ICSTIS into the practices of a number of
leading television companies has revealed numerous incidents of uncounted phone and text
votes, callers being charged for call completion after lines have been closed, and even
instances of viewers being urged to enter competitions after the winners had already been
decided.
Liverpool based communications firm Crosby Communications has today announced record annual
profits for 2006.
The results reflect a lucrative fourth quarter, which saw the company's earnings rise by 32%.
