ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 1999--

Global Telemedia International Inc. (OTC BB: GTMI- News) has executed a $6 million private placement and a 5-year contract with a Los Angeles based multi-media data research corporation, it was announced today by Jonathon Bentley-Stevens, President of GTMI.

The financing will enable GTMI to finalize pending agreements to utilize both UTH high-speed Broad-Spectrum Pulse technology and Photon technology. These technologies facilitate the transmission of data, video and voice within solid wire and optic fiber at accelerated speeds of up to 800 times the normal rate.

The financing will allow GTMI to proceed with plans to form joint ventures within the newly created BIMP-EAGA "Nafta" style treaty countries (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines). Through these joint ventures, GTMI will bring Ultra-Fast international telecommunications to a population of nearly 400 million potential new clients.

Photon and Broad Spectrum high-speed pulse technology can be transmitted via wireless systems and can utilize both old and new telecommunication infrastructures. This makes the technology ideally suited to emerging markets which are characterized by large geographic areas currently underserved by telecommunications technology.

The GTMI joint ventures will bring in credit card verification and bank-to-bank wire transfers into countries where most banks, hotels and financial institutions are just coming online. GTMI also will supply phone cards, which are a major consumer item in the East Asian Gateway where remote locations inhibit traditional billing. Monthly sales of phone cards within this developing area have already reached the multi-million dollar level.

The Los Angeles Based Data Research Company is engaged in professional confidential research for the Medical, Legal and Financial Institutions. The company's management believes that this high-speed data transfer will give the company an unbeatable edge over competitors, in both speed and security of data transfer.
