Additional benefits to hotel guests include elimination of long distance charges often associated with dial up modem connections and improved access to hotel telephone lines for phone calls while connected to the network. MDU provides complete system design, implementation, software billing integration and support to the property and its guests, as well as all the necessary financing for the project. ''Our system becomes even more of an asset for hotel and property owners as technology continues to converge,'' Nelson says. ''In the future, new revenue will be generated through growing utilization of the service as well as new voice over IP applications that we will be testintg in the very near future in cooperation with 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq:COMS - news). The technology platform we have chosen is designed to adapt to the changing and growing demands of the business traveler.''

''MDU is working with some of the world's best technology companies to deliver what business travelers and internet users want and need -- simple, high speed connectivity at a reasonable price,'' stated Nelson.
