MicroTouch Kiosks Part of Government Initiative to Make Services Public-Friendly

METHUEN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 1999--MicroTouch Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:MTSI - news) today announced it is supplying touchscreen monitors and kiosks as part of an ambitious government initiative to make federal and state services more accessible to the public.

MicroTouch customer NBG Solutions, a systems integrator and subsidiary of NBG Radio Network (OTC BB:NSBD), Portland, Ore., is the prime contractor for Internet-based interactive kiosk systems and office equipment for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Multi User Facility. This GSA project calls for developing facilities in shopping malls where various government agencies can jointly provide services to the public at convenient times in an easily accessible environment.

A prototype facility, called Government Services Express, opened March 11 in the Great Mall, Milpitas, Calif. This facility, developed by the GSA for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the California Franchise Tax Board, includes five touch-enabled kiosks which people can use to access government information and forms via the World Wide Web. Software developed by NBG Solutions makes it easy to navigate the system using touch input and graphical buttons displayed in multiple languages.
