This page is a promotion of the company Easy On Hold as can be seen in the first paragraph of the page...

"Easy On Hold is a music on hold and messages on hold provider owned by TBA, Inc., a Michigan, USA corporation. Notable for its successful development of streaming music on hold, Easy On Hold was founded in 1997 by Timothy Brown. The company has introduced innovations in message on hold delivery, specifically client-controlled marketing content via http stream."

The page then skips to multiple topics each a service offered by Easy On Hold. All the sections on this page relate to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_on_hold page.

The section of "Streaming Equipment" continues to promote, both the company Easy On Hold and the manufacturer that provides their equipment- ProDigital Manufacturing. The company name ProDigital Manufacturing then includes a link directly to the equipment as if it were a direct advertisement.

The Easy On Hold page then goes as far, as to mention each service that they offer and the "notable clientele."

The References used even DIRECTLY quote the CEO of Easy On Hold These are not a neutral references. This whole page is acting as an advertisement and soapbox for Easy On Hold. In fact one of the references used is even to the Easy On Hold website... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonnn09 (talk • contribs)
