July 13, 1999 07:50 OneMain.com Taps Phillip Gross as Director of Engineering VIENNA, VA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1999-- Former @Home Network Director of Engineering to Oversee OneMain's National Network Integration Strategy OneMain.com (Nasdaq:ONEM) today announced that Phillip Gross, former Director of Network Engineering at @Home Network, a broadband Internet Service Provider, has been named to oversee OneMain.com's architecture, engineering and operations. With more than 16 years in the Internet industry, Mr. Gross will serve as OneMain's Director of Engineering and will report to Marty Lyons, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Gross is a 25-year veteran in the computer and networking industry and has an extensive background in research and software development and project and product management. For the last seven years, he has focused on network engineering, technology and product planning for Internet services. Previously, as the initial Internet engineering director at MCI, he created and led the engineering group responsible for developing MCI's Internet network service and Internet access product line. "The appointment of Phillip Gross is another key milestone in OneMain.com's network integration strategy," said Stephen E. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer for OneMain.com. "His unparalleled Internet experience will greatly aid us as we successfully link all our customers through a national network with a shared billing platform under the OneMain.com brand." "I am excited to work at OneMain.com and strongly believe that its vision to create on-line geographic communities will change the way people use the Internet," said Phillip Gross. "By building on-line communities based upon where people live - rather than the large virtual communities that traditional ISPs offer - OneMain.com will provide its customers with a unique online experience and a powerful source of local content that will positively impact their daily lives." Among his career highlights, Mr. Gross was co-founder and seven-year chair of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). He helped transform the IETF from a limited research focus to an industry-wide Internet standards and development body. He co-chaired the IETF Routing and Addressing group, which led to solutions to certain growth-related architectural problems in the Internet Protocol (IP). As IETF chair, he was instrumental in specifying the direction and process for developing the Next Generation Internet Protocol. Based in Vienna, Virginia, OneMain.com is one of the ten largest independent Internet service providers with approximately 450,000 subscribers. OneMain.com provides Internet access and related services throughout the United States to individuals and businesses located predominantly in communities outside large metropolitan areas. These customers have traditionally been under-served by national on-line service providers and a great opportunity exists to meet the growing demand for on-line services in these markets.
