Agrees to Negotiate Hotel Deals in Western United States Jones Naughton Entertainment, Inc. (OTC BB: JNNE), announced today it has signed an Internet Kiosk marketing deal with NICOM Telemanagement, Inc. NICOM Telemanagement, Inc., a nine-year-old telecommunications and marketing firm based in San Diego, California, provides telecommunications services for over 100 hotels including operator services, long distance and credit card calls. NICOM also owns over 100 pay telephones installed in hotels throughout the Western United states. Jones Naughton's agreement with NICOM Telemanagement calls for NICOM to utilize its extensive contacts in the hotel industry to assist Jones Naughton in placing 1,200 Internet Kiosks over the next five years in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona. NICOM will support the implementation of this roll-out with its eight in-house sales representatives and 40 independent sales reps to place Jones Naughton's Internet Kiosks in prime hotel locations. Also, per the agreement, NICOM has agreed to sell eight banner advertisements per Kiosk at $50/month per advertiser. John Winfield, President of NICOM, commented: "NICOM is pleased to be a part of Jones Naughton's vision to make Internet access readily available to the travelling public. As the public, at large, becomes more Internet dependent on a daily basis via e-mail, on-line banking, on-line trading, etc., the strategic placement of Internet access points will allow travelers to check messages, flight itineraries, stock quotes and the like 'on-the-fly' without having to connect a laptop computer to a phone jack." Mr. Winfield concluded, "I believe Jones Naughton is a leader in the advent of widespread deployment of public- access Internet services." Joseph Naughton, Chairman of Jones Naughton Entertainment, said: "With the signing of this marketing agreement, COMMUNITY MARQUEE will initiate a plan to offer all hotel guests lodging with a participating hotel, free e-mail access via our Internet Kiosk. Summit Research Associates, a technology assessment firm, has forecast that Internet access terminals will grow from an estimated 5,000 units today to more than 100,000 terminals by the year 2002." Mr. Naughton added, "COMMUNITY MARQUEE intends to be a major facilitator of that growth." Jim Cannon, President of COMMUNITY MARQUEE, agreed: "NICOM is well-connected to the hotel market. Our Internet Kiosk deployment will complement the current telecommunications services NICOM offers to their hotel clients. Further, the addition of our Kiosk program will allow NICOM to offer a wider array of services to future customers."
