CBQI NEWS!!!!! (BSNS WIRE) CBQ, Inc. Announces Launch of Embedded Internet Service Prov CBQ, Inc. Announces Launch of Embedded Internet Service Provider Division for Deployment in the United States and China Business Editors ADDISON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 2000-- EmbeddedISP.com to Offer Complete Turnkey Services to Internet Appliance Manufacturers and Designers CBQ, Inc. (OTC BB:CBQI) The E-Business Marketplace announced today its launching of EmbeddedISP.com, The ISP for Internet Appliance Manufacturers. This service is designed to provide connectivity for the non-pc appliances that, according to International Data Corporation (IDC), will account for nearly half of all World Wide Web accesses by consumers by 2002. Its estimated unit size is over 43 million by the end of 2001 and over 150 million units in 2002. The IDC study evaluated the impact of web-enabled PDAs, video game consoles, telephones and TV set-top boxes. This connectivity will allow devices such as set-top boxes, VCR's, refrigerators, medical devices, game consoles, PDAs, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment to interact with the Internet through a secure environment. As software for these devices advances you could send a fax to a cellular phone or automatically notify a central service facility that a device is failing or about to fail. John Harris, CEO, CBQ, Inc. commented, "The embedded device industry represents a untapped market for Internet service providers. By offering the device manufacturer a one-stop resource for managing and deploying secure access for their devices, CBQ will become a leader in this field. China represents a particularly important market for us, as it is estimated to have the worlds largest Internet market by 2005, and now is the worlds third-largest market for cellular telephone." The creation of the embedded Internet device market has occurred due to the continuing development of network on a chip designs from companies like Motorola, NetSilicon, Hitachi and Texas Instruments. The costs to integrate this technology has declined to a point where the largest obstacle to market acceptance is management of the devices once they are deployed. CBQ will offer the device manufacturer a one-stop resource for connectivity and management of their devices. Currently, CBQ is in discussion with two manufacturers of Internet appliances and is actively seeking additional service bundling opportunities. Dialup service is available on a trial basis in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and wireless access is expected to be available by the end of the first quarter. CBQ will also market this service to the growing Chinese market through its subsidiary Chinasoft, Inc. About EmbeddedISP.com EmbeddedISP.com is the embedded Internet division of CBQ, Inc.

an 5, 2000 - 04:54 PM SEC Sues 'Tokyo Joe' for Alleged Securities Fraud on Internet The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal regulators on Wednesday sued a man who calls himself Tokyo Joe for allegedly defrauding investors on his Web site by failing to tell them he was selling the same stocks he was advising them to buy. The man's attorney said he will contest the allegations in court. Tokyo Joe, described as a self-proclaimed expert in day trading, charged members of his investment club up to $200 a month for stock picks and other advice, the Securities and Exchange Commission said. Those membership fees amounted to more than $1.1 million from July 1998 through June 1999, the SEC said in its civil lawsuit filed in federal court in Chicago. The agency also alleged that Tokyo Joe, 50, a New York City resident whose real name is Yun Soo Oh Park, illegally touted a stock to investors without disclosing he had received shares from the company and lied about his trading performance record. In its suit, the SEC is seeking injunctions against Park and his company, Tokyo Joe's Societe Anonyme, as well as unspecified fines and restitution to investors. Park's attorney, Ira Lee Sorkin, a former top SEC official, said his client will contest the suit. "We intend to defend against the action," Sorkin said. "I would have hoped that the SEC would have dealt with these issues ... (such as use of the Internet and day trading) through regulation as opposed to litigation. There are some very murky issues." The SEC's suit was the latest in a string of enforcement actions in recent years against alleged securities fraud using the Internet. Federal and state securities regulators say this new form of fraud has been proliferating in Internet junk mail, online newsletters, electronic "chat rooms" and Web sites. Because the Internet is everywhere, unscrupulous stock promoters anywhere in the world can cloak themselves in anonymity and lure investors across the country, who have lost millions in such schemes, the regulators say. "The Internet has witnessed the rapid growth of Web sites run by self-proclaimed investment gurus," said SEC Enforcement Director Richard Walker. "Today's action makes clear that we will not tolerate fraudulent conduct or undisclosed conflicts of interest by those peddling investment advice on the Internet." Park, who never registered with the SEC as an investment adviser, operated his Societe Anonyme from his home in New York, the agency said in its suit. It alleged that Park misled members of Societe Anonyme by failing to disclose or lying to them about the fact that he already owned - and was selling - the same stocks he was advising them to buy. Park profited by selling the stocks into the buying flurry he had created by his recommendations, a practice known as scalping, the SEC said. On some occasions, Park advised members to hold a stock for several days or longer or designated a target stock price while he actually sold the same stock, sometimes below the target price, the SEC said. In addition, the regulators alleged, Park posted trading performance results on his Web site that were "materially false and misleading," in an effort to recruit new members and get current members to follow his investment recommendations.
