Schedule of Goodwill [Table Text Block]	2 — Acquisition and Intangible Assets In March 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Advanced Tel, Inc. (“ATI”), a switchless reseller of wholesale long-distance services, for a combination of shares of its common stock and cash. The Company acquired ATI to increase its customer base, to add minutes and revenue to its network and to access new sales channels. The initial portion of the purchase price included 308,079 shares of the Company’s common stock, a payable of $250,000 to be paid over the six-month period following the closing and a $150,000 two-year unsecured promissory note in an amount tied to ATI’s working capital of $150,000. These amounts were payable to the former selling shareholder of ATI who was appointed President of ATI at the acquisition closing date. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $75,000 remained unpaid to the former selling shareholder. The fair value of the shares issued was based on the guaranteed price of $4.87 per share. The number of shares of common stock consideration paid to the selling shareholder of ATI was subject to an adjustment (or the payment of additional cash in lieu thereof at the option of the Company) if the trading price of the Company’s common stock did not reach a minimum price of $4.87 per share during the two years following the closing date. The selling shareholder of ATI was also entitled to contingent consideration of common shares and cash during the two succeeding years from the acquisition date upon meeting certain performance targets tied to revenue and profitability. In December 2008, the Company issued 4,089,930 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $611,043, as full payment of the contingent consideration. During the third quarter of 2009, the President of ATI departed from the Company. On March 31, 2011, the former President of ATI filed a law suit against the Company (see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). At September 30, 2011, using the present value calculation of a net cash flow analysis, the Company has determined that due to the decline in revenue and operating income of ATI in 2011, the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill was not fully recoverable and has taken a charge for the impairment of goodwill in the amount of $450,000. The Company has developed an integration plan for utilizing the Company’s network to carry the ATI customer traffic. The execution of this plan is expected to result in a cost structure that will make the ATI more competitive and improve gross margin through the cost savings.
