(OTC BB: JNNE), announced today that GoOn-line.com has completed technical and service upgrades necessary to launch the formal grand opening of GoOn-line.com in the second half of June. GoOn-line.com's technical upgrades and site enhancements include: - Equipment and routing agreements with Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO) and 3COM Corporation (Nasdaq: COMS) - Doubling GoOn-line.com's Internet bandwidth to accommodate anticipated launch traffic - The selection of Internet providers Pacific Bell and Qwest Communications (NASDAQ: QWST) for transmission quality and backup redundancy. "GoOn-line's infrastructure is now in place, and we are implementing numerous enhancements as we prepare for an exciting launch the second half of June. Our product line continues to grow and we are well underway in production on streaming video presentations for our opening series of quality products," said Mr. Claverie. GoOn-line.com's new primary connection to the Internet backbone will allow faster, more reliable transmission speeds. Additionally, ongoing system compatibility testing will minimize service interruptions and ensure maximum throughput. GoOn-line.com Adds New Suppliers GoOn-line.com also announced the signing of two additional merchandisers, Cosmopolitan Industries and Innovative Concepts Corporation (ICC). Cosmopolitan Industries currently has worldwide Moped scooter distribution rights to merchandising leaders including Kmart, Costco, FingerHut, Damark and Ubid. Cosmopolitan President Elliott Peikoff cited the alliance with GoOn- line.com will broaden Cosmopolitan's consumer base saying, "The number of Internet consumers is growing at a dramatic rate. Our association with aggressive e-commerce partners such as GoOn-line.com will keep us on a steady growth curve as consumers realize the convenience of 24-hour shopping from home." Innovative Concepts President Sal Canino believes GoOn-line.com is a natural fit for selling ICC's popular SnakeDriver(TM). "GoOn-line.com provides us with immediate access to the active Internet user. Our line of tool products is sold in such major retailers as Sears, Meijer's and Target, and on Television retailer QVC. GoOn-line.com's use of RealNetworks (Nasdaq: RNWK) streaming audio and video will now allow us to convey the many benefits of the SnakeDriver and other time-saving tools to a growing market of Internet shoppers." Joseph Naughton, Chairman of Jones Naughton Entertainment noted the importance of credibility through association. "Jones Naughton's pursuit of established and respected trading partners such as Cosmopolitan Industries and Innovative Concepts is no accident. Striving to become a household e-commerce name requires that GoOn-line.com establish a solid reputation, in part, by the company it keeps. ICC and Cosmopolitan Industries are certainly solid partners to help build that reputation on."
