Business Editors/High Tech Writers

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2000

US Data Authority, Inc. (OTCBB:USDA), a national Internet network and infrastructure company has added WorldCom (Nasdaq:WCOM) to its hybrid Internet carrier network in all of its 40 locations. WorldCom is one of four networks, along with AT&T (NYSE:T), Cable & Wireless (NYSE: CWP), and USDA's own ATM Frame Relay that now comprise the US Data Authority Internet Network. USDA employs sophisticated Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) switching that automatically chooses the least congested of the now four networks to ensure the fastest data transmissions.

USDA collocates its industry-innovative equipment within 40 major metropolitan AT&T network access points (NAPs) nationwide and brings in fiber from other national carriers. Unlike other bandwidth service providers, USDA uses multiple backbone carriers simultaneously to assure 99.999% service availability to its customers. This unique network solution affords customers the highest level of reliability, with redundant and diverse paths to avoid single points of failure, and provides faster, optimal traffic flow.

"The addition of WorldCom means that USDA is now quadruple-redundant, which makes USDA's already fast network that much faster... and that much more reliable," says Jack B. Blount, president and CEO. "WorldCom is one of the leading Internet backbone providers, and linking them to our network is a great addition."

US Data Authority, Inc. (OTCBB:USDA) is building a nationally distributed network-computing environment "delivering information technology to the edge" thus enabling users to relocate traditional information technology (IT) resources directly to the Internet at a location in close proximity to them, a necessary innovation which will fundamentally change computing forever. Network computing makes it possible for every business to utilize USDA's most powerful and extensive array of software, storage, content delivery, and network access that has been technically impossible or financially prohibitive up to this point.

USDA is a national Internet carrier and infrastructure company offering mid- to large-sized companies and organizations fast, reliable, secure and affordable Internet, Extranet, and Intranet solutions. Rather than offering one network computing service, USDA will provide all network computing services including online data storage, and delivery of rich media content, all at the fastest connections available. USDA has engineered its network as a series of interconnected NAPs delivering "information technology to the edge" to assist businesses maximize the most efficient use of the Internet, and is among the first to offer a fully architected network computer.
