Awareness among Underserved Populations
NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2000--Com21, Inc. (Nasdaq:CMTO), a leading supplier of system solutions for the broadband access market, today
announced its sponsorship of the Digital Bridge Alliance Project, an initiative of the National Association of Minorities in Communications (NAMIC). Com21 joins
NAMIC in encouraging minority use of computers and the Internet. As a "Gold Level" sponsor, Com21 contributes financially to the Alliance, whose initial goals are
to educate people of color on the value of computers and Internet access in their daily lives.
"Com21 is a leader in the broadband revolution bringing cable Internet access into the lives of everyday people. We are delighted to be a Gold Sponsor of the

information 500 years ago, high-speed Internet access can reduce the barriers of space, time, language, and culture for a new generation."
NAMIC and its sponsoring partners will hold a press conference tomorrow, May 9th, at 12:00 noon at the NCTA Cable 2000 show (Morial Convention Center press
