IKANO PRESS RELEASES

Title: IKANO Signs its 300th Wholesale ISP Customer. IKANO Continues to Excel in the Wholesale Market.
Date: January 4th, 2004
For Release: IMMEDIATE

Salt Lake City � IKANO Communications, the largest provider of private-label Internet services, announces the signing of its 300th ISP wholesale customer since the creation of its wholesale group in September of 2002.

�This accomplishment is truly indicative of the company that IKANO has become and the infrastructure it has created,� said Henry Smith, IKANO President and CEO. �300 new customers is a testament to the quality of our network and the value-added services we provide.�

Included in IKANO�s wholesale ISP offering is access to numerous networks, plus IKANO�s proprietary Network Management System and Mission Control Center. IKANO�s wholesale offering features access to the IKANO enhanced U.S. network, Qwest, Level 3 (V.92-enabled), Allegiance Telecom, ICG, and Grande networks, plus the IKANO-owned, largest independent network in Canada. This gives partners the ability to offer service in approximately 3,000 dial-up locations. Regularly priced at just $4.45 per user per month, this package includes a low $250 monthly minimum plus a $250 set-up fee.

The Network Management System protects IKANO�s partners from incurring network overage charges by capping their network risk at 150 hours while protecting against simultaneous logins and spamming; two user behaviors that can be costly to an ISP. The Network Management System does this by identifying subscribers who match a specific profile of abusive behavior. IKANO�s Mission Control Center allows partners to manage their ISP business as well as to access web reports, network status information, and other reporting tools.

�Our team and IKANO as a whole is extremely proud of what we have done in the wholesale market,� said Jerry Golden, IKANO National Wholesale Sales Manager, �we have worked hard to get to where we are today and we look forward to what we will accomplish in the future.�
