Datameg Announces Management Change
Bill Mortimer Steps Down as QoVox General Manager

Boston, MA., December 14, 2005 – Datameg Corporation (OTCBB:DTMG) today announced that Bill Mortimer has stepped down as General Manager of Datameg’s QoVox subsidiary, effective December 30, 2005. Mortimer, a Canadian citizen, along with Datameg officials and advisors were unable to obtain an H1-B Visa from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that would permit Mortimer to work full time in the U.S. The successful build-out and marketing of the QoVox products and services requires a resident General Manager. Mortimer has agreed to stay on as QoVox general manager through the end of the year upon which he will return to his previous role as consultant to the organization. Mortimer will maintain his position on Datameg’s board of directors. Dan Ference will continue to serve in his capacity as Chief Operating Officer for QoVox, as he has during the past seven months, thus ensuring continuity in the company’s business operations.

“During his tenure as QoVox’s general manager, Bill has helped develop and put in place what we believe is a plan for success. We look forward to Bill’s continuing presence with the company both as a Board member and as a consultant” stated Datameg Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Mark P. McGrath.

According to information obtained by the company, the USCIS approved 65,000 H1-B Visas for 2005 and the next application period begins April of 2006 for visas that would not be effective until October of 2006. Mortimer joined QoVox during August of 2005 and immediately began the application process; however, the USCIS filled their allocation of H1-B visa with qualified applicants who had submitted their applications earlier in the year.

“We’ve considered a variety of alternatives and options but none seem to work for me and my family,” noted Mortimer. “I have confidence in the technology and business opportunity and I am anxious to assist making this business successful.”
