More news NetUSA Announces Alliance With Digital River MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1998--NetUSA Inc.(OTC BB:NTSA) announced that it has reached an agreement with Digital River Inc. of Edina, Minn., under which each company will give the users of its website the ability to search the databases of the other and the ability to purchase software distributed by both companies. Both NetUSA, under its Software Center division (www.softwarecenter.com), and Digital River have comprehensive listings of commercial software available on the Internet. Through this alliance, the companies hope to complement each other's offerings greatly as well as increase the usefulness of their services to the users. With the growth of Internet commerce in general and the increasing trend in users wanting to purchase software directly online, the companies believe that this alliance will add to the profitability of both companies. During the coming months, NetUSA plans to further increase the profitability of Software Center by signing agreements with software vendors to electronically distribute their software on Software Center as well as to electronically advertise them. NetUSA will soon announce the agreements with several of those vendors. At the same time, NetUSA will make Software Center more attractive to users at large by making many useful free and shareware tools available for evaluating and download at the Software Center. NetUSA will also make a concentrated effort to add large numbers of MacOS and Linux software listings in addition to the already large number of Windows software listings. "Digital River provides a great service to consumers, as do we," said NetUSA President Dr. Wun C. Chiou, Sr. "By working together, we hope to make the consumers' experiences even better, by making their software needs easily fulfilled at the click of a mouse button. Through this cooperation with Digital River, and through our current effort to put all available commercial software, shareware and free software tools on one database, we believe that NetUSA software center will be a dominant player in the electronic software marketplace beyond the year 2000." NetUSA Inc. (www.netusa.com) has three divisions. The Telecom division employs cutting-edge Internet phone and fax services that highly reduce the cost while preserving the quality of the services. The Web Services division provides complete World Wide Web solutions for businesses and also owns and hosts large domain sites world-wide.
