More news: X-Stream and QXL.com in Online Partnership LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 1999-- The X-Stream Network announces alliance with QXL.com giving users access to on-line auctions (NASD OTCBB: XSNI), The X-Stream Network, the UK's first free and third largest ISP, announces a one-year advertising and content agreement with QXL.com plc (Nasdaq:QXLC; London:QXL). X-Stream is dedicated to increasing the services and information available to its users, so an agreement with QXL.com, itself a high-profile e-commerce company, is a significant value added offering for X-Stream users.

X-Stream users will be able to access auction content within the new Auction Central site, part of X-Stream Central, X-Stream's branded portal. Access via the X-Stream site will give users the opportunity to enter a competition to celebrate this launch where they could win an Aiwa hi-fi and DVD player. Paul Myers of X-Stream, comments, "X-Stream has nearly half a million registered users across the UK, Norway and Sweden who now benefit from our services and periodic free calls offers.

Glenn, Been watching. News hasn't hit the wires yet, at least not mine. Volume still low. Subscriber numbers haven't increased much.

Glenn, thank you for the Level 3 information. When I visited X-Stream's offices two weeks ago they confirmed their servers were at Level 3 and now we have this announcement. Great news. What a coincidence that the SELL e-mail many of us received came a day before this announcement. Thanks again, Jeff

Thanks Jeff: Great news! XSNI is now $0.06 off $2.00/share. CBC-TV in Canada had a TV Business contest among 3 of the top business school students from McGill University in Canada vs. 3 students from one of the USA's top Universities. One question in the big contest was name the first Internet service provider from the UK to introduce free Internet to the World? McGill students answered: FreeServe. The moderator said you are correct! When it was all over, McGill won by 1 point. 169 to 170 points. The Correct answer X-Stream would have changed the outcome of the game.!!
