JNNE - Jim Cannon, Director of GoOn-line's Kiosk Division, a subsidiary of Jones Naughton Entertainment, Inc. (OTC BB: JNNE), today announced GoOn-line has entered into a marketing agreement with MidWest Internet Solutions, Inc. (MIS, Inc.) to place GoOn-line's custom Internet Kiosks in hotels in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. MIS, Inc. was founded by Peter H. Nosek, a veteran of 25 years in the hospitality field. Mr. Nosek's extensive background as a hotel General Manager includes past affiliations with Courtyards by Marriott, Holiday Inn, Ramada Inn, and a number of independent hotels. He is a Certified Hotel Administrator and has been a board member of the Indiana Hotel Motel Association since 1994. Mr. Nosek expects his numerous contacts throughout the Midwest to positively receive this new technology. He stated, "I am very pleased that we are able to offer our clients a new technology that will eventually be interfaced with every type of lodging property. I expect a rousing reception from hoteliers as this new amenity will enable their clients to conduct personal and work-related business while away from home or the office. Hoteliers are always looking for a competitive advantage, and placement of this technology will give participating hotels an edge in their marketplace." MIS, Inc. will immediately dedicate five sales representatives to the GoOn-line Kiosk project, canvassing hotels in the designated three-state area. Additional representatives will be added as the marketing initiative progresses. Mr. Cannon also disclosed that GoOn-line has accepted more than 30 additional Internet Kiosk orders since the Company's July 6th press release. "GoOn-line has now received signed contracts for more than 80 Internet Kiosks for hotels operating in 20 states," said Mr. Cannon.
