ENET - Buying on news: Tuesday January 5, 11:49 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Equalnet Announces Implementation of Option to Subscribe to Its Long Distance Service Over the Internet HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 1999--ACMI, the recently acquired network marketing division of Equalnet Communications Corp.'s (Nasdaq:ENET - news) USC Telecom subsidiary, today announced that you can now sign up for discounted long distance and toll-free service via the Internet at WWW.ACMI-TEL.COM. Through ACMI's Internet site, Equalnet will be taking advantage of the Word Wide Web to reach new markets and to better serve its current customers. Customers will be able to sign up for discounted long distance and toll-free service 7 days a week 24 hours a day on the Internet. Online orders will be processed quickly and efficiently. Equalnet expects that this program will be the first step toward its customers having the option to receive their bills over the Internet, as more customers become comfortable conducting business online and as Equalnet develops its online billing capability. ''This is an aggressive step in helping our agents increase their sales volume'', said Tom Hull, ACMI National Marketing Director. ''Instead of a sales agent having to visit each potential customer personally, the agent will be able to compress time frames by working on the phone to help their customers sign up their long distance service over the Internet. New customers will be able to apply for the service online at their convenience lowering the resistance barrier for the customer to make a change!'' The telecommunication industry is just starting to sell over the Internet. Hull adds, ''Other industries you would not relate with E-Commerce do substantial volumes of business every day. We feel that our telecommunication products will be a natural fit for what both individuals and businesses look for when doing Internet transactions.'' This press release includes ''forward-looking statements'' within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release, including without limitation, Equalnet's business strategy, plans and objectives, are forward-looking statements. Although Equalnet believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from Equalnet's expectations, including without limitation, general economic and competitive factors and the degree to which residential and smaller commercial users, Equalnet's target customer base, are receptive to conducting business over the Internet. Additional risk factors are discussed in Equalnet's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
