(OTC Bulletin Board: WOWW) announced today that M@ilTV(TM) enabled television sets and retrofit receivers will be available throughout the UK followed by an international roll-out in Germany, Turkey and Australia in early 2000. Further territories for M@ilTV commercialisation are currently in negotiation with industry and marketing partners around the world. Paul Goodman-Simpson, CEO of World CallNet said: "M@ilTV is a global product for the mass consumer market offering users e-mail and an expanding choice of interactive information services via their TV and telephone line. The key to its success is it's low-cost; M@ilTV will offer Internet functionality at a fraction of the cost of a computer or other existing Web-TV type devices." World CallNet further announced that discussions are at an advanced stage to establish M@ilTV services in France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, India, Brazil, and the Caribbean. Following Zi Corporation's announcement to license the eZiTEXT(TM) intuitive language processing software to World CallNet's strategic partner ZiLOG Inc., f a Chinese language version of M@ilTV will also become available, allowing deployment within China. Goodman-Simpson commented further: "This initiative ensures M@ilTV can be rolled out globally. With eZiTEXT offered in thirteen alphabetical languages and three ideographic languages, World CallNet is able to offer M@ilTV with local language support -- even in countries where symbolic characters are used". World CallNet is at the leading edge of Internet convergence technology, which integrates television telephone and Internet technologies and applications into one seamless and user friendly unit. World CallNet's Research and Development division has developed M@ilTV using its own proprietary and patent pending Ultra Thin Client Protocol (UTCP) technology. M@ilTV is embedded in new televisions at their point of manufacture and is available as a retrofit receiver kit for use with existing televisions. Internet service provision in the United Kingdom for M@ilTV users is to be supplied by World CallNet through its UK subsidiary Internet Service Provider CallNet plc. SOURCE World Callnet, Inc.
