New Technology Extends Companies Web Presence to Wireless Devices
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 1999--Datalink.net (OTC-BB:NETD - news), a Silicon Valley based
Internet company, announced its new service to wirelessly enable World Wide Web sites using its XpressLink(TM)
Web-to-Wireless platform.
The new service will enable any company to deliver Web-based information to their customers or employees via wireless
devices, such as mobile phones, pagers or PDAs (personal digital assistants).
Wireless-enabled Web sites will allow companies to free their Internet content from the desktop and reach their audiences no

''Our new Wireless-enabled Web technology has enormous possibilities,'' said Anthony LaPine, Datalink.net CEO. ''Any
Web site will be able to expand their reach...no matter where their customers are. Our partners will be able to send out
important information and carry out e-commerce beyond their traditional confines of the computer, opening up whole new
markets for the Internet.''
