Ivan Zweig founded ICCC in December of 1998. The concept started merely as a re-biller of different carriers in the industry for Internet traffic. With excellence constantly being the number one goal, ICCC began to buy wholesale from NKOB networks, which evolved into the goal of becoming a facilities based carrier. ICCC sold off its assets to IELEMENT in March of 2003 excluding any and all regulated licenses or permits.
Ivan was the Western Region Dedicated Sales Manager of NET-tel Communications from February of 1998 until he founded ICCC. He was responsible for Internet sales for 52 reps in the Western Region. MidCom Communications previously employed Ivan, where he became a very successful Sales Manager after being an Account Executive for a short time. Winstar purchased MidCom, and at that point, all of the management team migrated over to NET-tel from MidCom.
Before Midcom, Ivan raised over $500,000 from private investors to fund a health food and nutrition franchise called Smoothie King. He purchased the rights to build 18 stores in the Bay Area and sold his interest after building the first two. Additionally, he started a city magazine called Dallas/Ft.Worth Lifestyles. Ivan sold enough advertising as an account executive in the first 60 days to carry the magazine for the entire first year of operations. This was Ivan�s first venture after college and a brief stint of playing professional baseball. Ivan attended Tulane University and was a member of Team USA in 1991, which played in Cuba for the Pan American Games. He was also a two-time All-American pitcher while at Tulane. |
