KQIP in Europe...watchout!....Qwest Communications International today announced that KPNQwest, has signed a
contract worth $11.2 million with Europe Online Networks to connect their consumer,
broadband, broadcast 'Internet via the Sky' services to KPNQwest's pan-European
terrestrial Internet network.

The high bandwidth connection provided by KPNQwest will be a crucial element in
the multi-year contract for the new hybrid service from Europe Online, based in
Luxembourg. Known as "Internet via the Sky," Europe Online enables anyone with an
ASTRA satellite dish or suitable cable television connection, along with an industry
standard set-top box or PC-card, to receive data from the Internet and other sources.
The Europe Online "Internet via the Sky" network was officially launched to the
general public on August 27 at the Berlin Consumer Electronics Fair, IFA '99.

KPNQwest's Internet Protocol transit service, Internet Service Provider connectivity
and peering capabilities will be used by Europe Online to obtain data from the Internet,
which it does not already have cached and that has been requested by end users of the
service. The ability of KPNQwest to access the content required by Europe Online's
customers is enhanced by KPNQwest's 240 Internet peering agreements. These,
coupled with the high capacity of the bandwidth, generate a highly practical solution to
Europe Online's challenge of marrying the celestial with the terrestrial in Internet
delivery.
