2Much.net Bounces Back From Near Disaster in Third Party Billing Bust

Montreal, Quebec (January 27, 2004) – 2Much Internet Services, the company responsible for last year’s surprise entry in high-end video-audio streaming and billing software, LiveCamNetwork 1.9, was forced to a standstill over the weekend of January 16-19 when its newly formed network of websites virtually lost the capacity to accept payments from clients.
