NEW YORK, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Kanakaris Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KKRS - news) launches its KKRS.Net entertainment web
portal's NetMovieMania with 18 full-length movies today bringing full-screen motion picture viewing to the Internet. The site is a showcase of technology
breakthroughs provided by Microsoft WindowsMedia 4.0.
Concurrent with the launch, Kanakaris is airing a webcast which outlines the 1500 man-hour effort being made which will see Kanakaris add about ten new
full-length, full-screen scalable movies every two to three days until KKRS.Net has an unprecedented 250 full-length, full-screen movies online in three to four
different delivery rates in Microsoft WindowsMedia 4.0 technology. The Company will continue to expand the web site thereafter.
Each film can be adjusted by the Internet viewer to cover up to the full computer monitor screen. For higher bandwidth users, the experience can approach TV
quality video and even better quality near-CD sound. All users can benefit from the larger screen capability.
In the webcast (www.kanakaris.com, www.NetBooks.com, www.KKRS.Net) , Darren Grimstead of encoding.com and Bryan Turbow, President and CEO of
LMCI Communications (OTC Bulletin Board: LMKI - news) explain the strategic relationships and roles which their respective companies are playing to make
Kanakaris the #1 provider of full-screen, full-length movies in WindowsMedia 4.0 Technology.

Communications and ScreamingMedia.com, among others, to provide content, technology and promotion to its web sites. The intent of the contracts is described
