FG...I have been waiting a long while to get back in this one...if we get some decent numbers that should move us back over 2.00...today's announcement w/Pagemart also indicates to me we have a long term winner in the inet stakes. PageMart Signs Exclusive Internet Commerce Deal with AllnetServices.Com Corp. Online Company to Offer Full Range of PageMart Products and Service Options DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 29, 1999--Seizing the opportunity provided by the largest network in the wireless messaging industry, Internet commerce company AllnetServices.com Corp. (OTC BB: ANSC) will sell advanced messaging services from PageMart Wireless Inc. (Nasdaq:PMWI - news) through a new website, Allpagers.com. The site is in production and is expected to be operational early next month. AllnetServices operates e-commerce retail sites as well as an interactive auction. The Allpagers.com website will allow customers to choose from every product and service offered by PageMart, and pay by credit card after making a selection. Distribution will be handled by PageMart Wireless. ''E-commerce over the Internet is changing the face of business, said Dave Swift, PageMart vice president of national retail.'' ''AllnetServices is a young, yet proven e-commerce company that offers a convenient way to purchase a variety of products, and its growth potential makes this an exciting relationship.'' The move follows PageMart's introduction of its nationwide narrowband PCS network -- the largest single-company owned, two-way wireless data network of any kind. The $400 million network provides customers unprecedented coast-to-coast connectivity, reliability and ease of use. ''We are always thinking of new applications for our websites, and we feel PageMart's collection of wireless messaging products is a perfect fit for us,'' said Robert Aubel, president and CEO of Coral Springs, Fla.-based AllnetServices. ''PageMart's fantastic coverage area and focus on customer service will bring the value today's online customers demand.'' Subscribers to PageMart's new nationwide PCS network have a wide variety of advanced messaging options including assured message delivery, single number service, the choice of local or nationwide coverage, and local or toll free phone numbers. A unique feature called Nationwide TODAY (SM) lets subscribers with local coverage expand to nationwide coverage as needed, simply by calling their own number and accessing their personal options. With assured messaging, subscribers who have turned off their pagers or are out of coverage will have their messages stored by the network for up to 96 hours until the pager is turned on or returned to coverage. PageMart's new nationwide narrowband PCS network will allow the company to provide pre-programmed message response and two-way messaging later in 1999. AllnetServices.com Corp. specializes in online marketing and distribution of a broad range of products and services at wholesale prices to both consumer and trade customers. Its Internet-related businesses include; AllnetDirect.com, which lists over 45,000 computer-related products; GoingOnce.net, a 24-hour online auction; Allmonitors.com, the first web-site dedicated solely to offering all monitor-related merchandise; Allcopiers.com, offering wholesale pricing on office equipment; Allnotebooks. com, offering laptops, PDAs and accessories; and AllnetServices.com, which offers Web hosting, professional graphics design and animation, database management and site development. Allmonitors.com and AllnetDirect.com are also published in Spanish. PageMart Wireless Inc. is a leader in the wireless messaging industry, providing advanced messaging and traditional paging services in the United States through the largest terrestrial-based, two-way wireless data network of any kind.
