Further information on the Toronto launch and other projected cities of operation will be made available on 3web's new website, www.3web.net. All terms of Cybersurf's agreement with Call-Net Enterprises Inc. have been satisfied and Cybersurf and Call-Net are jointly coordinating their efforts in anticipation of the launch of 3web in Toronto. Executives at Cybersurf continue to be excited about the company's alliance with Call-Net and Call-Net's role in the implementation of 3web into Canada's largest market. About 3web 3web is a proprietary software application that was developed by Cybersurf Interactive Media, a division of Cybersurf Corp. It offers users a powerful and secure portal to anywhere on the World Wide Web, as well as E-mail and E-commerce functionality. The 3web Network is supported by commercial advertising and E-commerce initiatives and is totally free to the user. Cybersurf's proprietary 3web advertisement-supported approach is unique in Canada bringing highly targeted, demographically-specific advertising to the user's desktop. Traditional portals provide advertising via banner ads on web pages, making it easy to click the ad away. 3web's portal operates independently of any Web browser and can never be hidden or disabled. No matter where the user travels on the Internet, 3web's advertising is always visible. It is because of this feature that advertisers on the 3web Network can be guaranteed exact impressions and can target specific demographic profiles.
