) announced today that James Kaufman had been appointed Vice President of Corporate Development, to spearhead the deployment of Internet Media's US.RF(TM) Quick-Cell Wireless CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) An organization offering local telephone service that is not one of the traditional telephone companies. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed competition to the incumbent telcos (ILECs), enabling new companies (CLECs)  Internet System throughout the U.S. and assist in the expansion of Internet Media's CyberHighway(TM), an ISP (1) See in-system programmable.

 providing service in over 230 cities in 12 states. Kaufman will join Internet Media immediately.

"I think the Internet industry is only now beginning to really understand just how revolutionary the US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System is -- our ability to turn a local ISP into a Wireless CLEC literally overnight is unprecedented," said Jim Kaufman, Internet Media's new Corporate Development V.P. "We already have a ready market for the US.RF Quick-Cell System, from among the 230 cities served by CyberHighway, plus we've begun the process of contacting the over 200 local dial-up ISPs who have inquired about the US.RF Quick-Cell System. My goal is to get several of these ISPs signed up each week, if at all possible," continued Kaufman.

"Not only was Jim instrumental in our acquiring CyberHighway earlier this year, he also conceived the Quick-Cell implementation concept, and I have complete confidence that he will direct our expansion plans successfully," said David Loflin, Internet Media's President. "Our board of directors is firmly behind Jim and has endorsed his strategy for achieving wide-scale deployment of the US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System. Also, Jim has re-opened acquisition talks with two ISPs with whom we had previously signed letters of intent, and we hope to reach definitive agreements with those ISPs in the near future," Loflin concluded.

Kaufman further noted that he expected the combination of the US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System and CyberHighway's unique Internet business model built on a sold infra-structure and a creative management team to be a strong product mix, one that would be attractive to many of the nearly 6,000 local, independent ISPs who are struggling to grow. "Together with CyberHighway, we can help the independent ISP not only to compete with traditional, nationally-known ISPs, like Mindspring Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSPG MSPG Mor Strioch Pian Gar (gaming)
MSPG Middle School Parents Group
MSPG Material/Military Support Planning Guidance
), and regional ISPs, like Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMII RMII Reduced Media-Independent Interface
RMII Rocky Mountain Internet Inc.
), and, with the US.RF QuickCell System, these local ISPs can offer Internet business solutions to compete with the likes of Verio (Nasdaq: VRIO VRIO Virtual Reality Input Output )," Kaufman concluded.
