The first site, which will now offer the Go Online Internet Kiosk service, is the Marriott Marquis Hotel located in the heart of downtown Atlanta. JRB currently services this 1,675 room hotel of distinction with two Internet access units. On Feb. 1, 2000 Go Online management announced the initial testing of the major hotel market when they signed an agreement to service the Hyatt Regency, also in downtown Atlanta. Service to the Hyatt Regency is scheduled to commence on May 1 of this year.
The second site acquired in the agreement scheduled to now offer the Go Online Internet service is for patrons of the South Lake Mall located in Morrow, Ga.

The mall attracts more than 12,000,000 visitors annually.
Jim Cannon, director of operations for Go Online Kiosk Division stated, ``Our company's focus remains centered on our core immediate hotel market, but we will continue to expand our Internet kiosk service to other growth markets we feel we have the expertise to service.'
Naughton stated, ``These acquisitions are the natural outgrowth of our previously announced marketing alliance with JRB. We will work together with the mall operator to develop new prototype units for this endeavor. We expect those prototypes to replace the current units in September of this year.'
