ABC Nightline...interesting! Well, Ted Koppels tried to throw cold water on the industry, but I think there's no doubt cybergambling's going to be huge in one way or another. Starnet's CEO Mark Dolen spoke quite well...is it me, or does he look like Stephen Segal...? :0) Nightline called SNMM a "pioneer" in the industry, and said that their operation was one of the (few) credible ones. For me, the toast of the evening was Koppel's interview with Lefty Rosenthal(?). If anyone watched the Deniro/Sharon Stone movie CASINO, Deniro was actually playing Lefty! Lefty had a fantastic retort to each of Koppel's questions. Starnet oughta hire Lefty as their "company celebrity"...hehehe In all, a not-too-negative slant on the industry, and good PR for Starnet.

Kent I heard a rumor they had done over $3 million in wagering just for March alone and that it was up something like 250% from the previous month. I believe it to be true because it falls in line with the growth that other operators like CRYP have experienced. I see there was an appointment yesterday. STARNET'S DIRECTORS ELECT CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Wilmington, DE, April 8, 1998 - Starnet Communications International Inc. (NASD OTC-BB: SNMM) ("Starnet") is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has elected Mr. John (Jack) Carley as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Carley, who currently serves Starnet in the capacities of Chief Financial Officer and Director, provides a wealth of knowledge as an operational executive. Mr. Carley has over 25 years of experience in line and staff capacities in both the private and public sectors, specializing in finance and administration. Mr. Carley was most recently Vice-President of Trust Operations for the Hong Kong Bank Trust Company (a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Bank of Canada). Mr. Carley has held a variety of executive positions, including Senior Vice-President of Branch Operations for the First City Trust Company, and Vice-President of Finance, Western Canada Region, for the Royal Trust Company. Mr. Carley also acted as Executive Director of Examinations and Investigations for the Financial Institution Commission of British Columbia's Ministry of Finance and Corporate Affairs.

PC Computing magazine has estimated that the Internet gaming market could reach US $20 billion in annual revenues by the turn of the century. Starnet intends to penetrate this market with its proprietary system worldgaming.net), and by licensing this system to independent parties in exchange for revenue participation (http://www.softecsystems.com).
