WORLDGATE TRIALS AND TECHNICAL EVALUATIONS The WORLDGATE Service is in various stages of trials or technical evaluations on four continents with a number of cable operators including Time Warner, the second largest U.S. cable operator, and Cox, the fifth largest U.S. cable operator. Trials typically start with cable boxes connected to a headend server system installed at a cable operator's corporate office location for technical evaluation. Trials are of varying duration and complexity. The total subscriber base of cable operators currently in trials and planned trials with WorldGate is approximately 26 million. There can be no assurance that the current or planned trials will be successful or will lead to commercial deployment of the WORLDGATE Service by these cable operators. Set forth below is a table summarizing the current trials and planned trials of the WORLDGATE Service as of September 1, 1999. The total number of subscribers served by the cable operator and its affiliates, including all announced acquisitions, across all of its systems is based on data provided by the operator or estimates by Cablevision Blue Book (Summer/Fall 1999) for U.S. operators other than SNET and on WorldGate's estimates for SNET and international operators.
