RICHMOND, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1999--MDU Communications Inc. (NASDAQ - OTCBB: MDTV)(OTC Bulletin Board:MDTV), market leader in digital satellite service to apartment buildings and other multiple dwelling units, announces the appointment of CBI Investor Relations as their new investor relations advisors. "The appointment of CBI Investor Relations is an aggressive step to enhance our exposure within the investment community and capitalize on new investor opportunities," said MDU President Sheldon Nelson. "We expect to move quickly to create new investor interest in MDU and to broaden investment participation in MDU from building owners, managers and residential customers. People living in and owning multi-dwelling unit properties, appreciate the opportunity of finally having a choice and appear interested in becoming more involved in the company," he added. "Who better than building owners, managers and subscribers to get excited about a company offering superb digital satellite TV service, a new High Speed Internet Service, and true customer choice at competitive prices?" he asked. "It is our goal to ensure every new subscriber, building owner and investor benefits from our growth as we expand across Canada at an accelerating rate," said Nelson. Recent sales and business highlights for MDU Communications include: - Deployed service into 150 buildings in the last six months with over 12,000 current subscribers.

"After the Hilton Internet installation, we received very strong interest from both the hospitality and multi-dwelling unit marketplace, and we'll be moving aggressively to exploit these new opportunities," Nelson stated. "In September 1999, we will begin to install and provide both a digital satellite TV service and our new high-speed Internet service to the 1,222 residents at Woodcroft development in North Vancouver, B.C."
