ATLANTA & SHANGHAI, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2003

The Management of Asia Broadband, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ASAB)(the "Company"), is pleased to announce that, through the Company's 93% owned Chinese subsidiary, Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc., the Company has officially launched the "Fudan New English" program, one of China's largest interactive, multimedia English education Internet portals (www.ie.online.sh.cn). The Fudan New English learning solution has been built up through a partnership between Shanghai Broadband Network, Shanghai Online Education Center of Shanghai Telecom and the Distance Education College of Fudan University, one of the top universities in China.

The online content of Fudan New English originates directly from the Chinese-English bilingual Quartet CE Online language program jointly owned by Shanghai Broadband Network and the UK leading multimedia education company - Q Group Plc. The Fudan New English portal consists of more than 750 hours of interactive and multimedia self-learning online courseware, 64 units of intensive online teaching video lectures, e-magazine and interactive classrooms - a state-of-the-art online teaching solution. Students also have the opportunity to opt for the blended learning approach combining the benefits of online multimedia English training together with the more traditional classroom training methods.

Mr. Yuguo Zhang, the founder and CEO of the Company, said that while some main Chinese Internet portals are generating solid revenues from their operations in China, online education is becoming one of the prime business areas in the Internet content sector in China. "Asia Broadband is wholly focused on becoming the leading provider of online educational programs in China and throughout Asia, and the official launch of Fudan New English shows a very significant move towards achieving that goal in China."

"We are proud to introduce this unique English language training program to English language students in China," commented Mr. Graham Brant, President of Asia Broadband. "This program provides students with the comprehensive tools needed to rapidly excel with their language training, as it combines the traditional elements of classroom instruction together with state-of-the-art interactive, multimedia online training. Never before has such an advanced and accredited program been available to Mainland Chinese students," concluded Mr. Brant.

At the Fudan New English launch event today, Professor Xu Zhong Vice-President of Fudan University, and the Dean of its Distance Education College, said: "Fudan University is very pleased to work with Shanghai Telecom's Shanghai Online Education Center and Shanghai Broadband Network, one of the leading multimedia educational content companies, to make Fudan New English a successful model for both English language learning and online network education in China." "Fudan New English combines the three parties' strengths to provide a fully new teaching and learning solution." he added.

Ms Tong Ling Director of the Board and Vice General Manager of Shanghai Telecom expressed her view on the Fudan New English launch at today's conference saying "We cooperate with Fudan University and Shanghai Broadband Network to build Fudan New English, an interactive and open English learning platform, in order to provide English learners with a consistent English learning Internet environment. Students can now learn English any time and anywhere, and the traditional teaching style of 'Dumb English' and 'test-oriented English' will be changed."
