Dear Mr. Spirgel:

This letter is in response to your letter dated February 5, 2008 regarding the above referenced reports. Our response is preceded by the text of the comment from your letter.


September 30, 2007 Form 10-Q

“Please expand your response to comment 3 to describe more fully the majority ownership group of Unity Business Networks. Identify the four other non-Zoom Board members. Tell us the ownership and voting percentage of each and describe their management responsibilities over Unity Business Networks. Confirm for us and explain how the cohesiveness of this management/owner group deprives Zoom Technologies board representative of significant influence on the Board and over Unity Business Networks.”

Anthony Sheesley, Robert Paulsen, Greg Menard, and Isaac Elliot are Unity executive managers and Directors of the Board and were such prior to the transaction with Zoom. Three of the four are full-time Unity employees and the fourth spends significant time working at Unity on a part-time basis. Frank Manning, the fifth Director, has far less influence on Unity than the other Directors because he is not part of the cohesive Unity executive management team, does not have direct experience and expertise in Unity’s business area, is not involved in Unity operations, and does not live in the Denver area. Frank Manning’s interaction with Unity is to provide general business advice when he calls into Unity’s Board meetings.
