CYBERSURF CORP: Edmonton Launch Of 3web Version 2 Meets With Overwhelming Response / April 9, 1999 CYBERSURF CORP ("CY-Y;CYBUF-L") - Edmonton Launch Of 3web Version 2 Meets With Overwhelming Response Cybersurf is pleased to announce that the recent 3Web launch in Edmonton has exceeded initial expectations. Nearly the entire first shipment of 30,000 3web Version 2 installation CDs to Edmonton's Husky/Mohawk stations was depleted over the course of one week instead of the projected six months. The advertising campaign included a promotional television commercial provided by CFRN, the CTV affiliate in Edmonton that directed the public to "fill up at Husky/Mohawk for Free Internet Access". This resulted in significant sales of gasoline in just over 1 week. Husky/Mohawk will soon be provided with another shipment of 3web CDs to meet the ongoing demand in Edmonton. Under the terms of this distribution agreement, 3web installation CDs will be provided to individuals who purchase 30 litres of gasoline or diesel at any Husky or Mohawk service station in Edmonton. The CDs are distributed on a one-per-customer basis, and rainchecks are being given in the event of shortages. The 3web Network is a proprietary software application that was developed by Cybersurf Interactive Media, a division of Cybersurf Corp. It offers its Calgary and Edmonton users a powerful and secure portal to anywhere on the World Wide Web, as well as Email and E-commerce functionality. The 3web Network profits from commercial advertising, and is 100 per cent free to the user. Cybersurf's proprietary 3web advertisement-supported technology is unlike any other in existence, in that it brings highly targeted, demographically-specific advertising to the user's desktop. While traditional portals spawn advertising within a web browser (making it easy to bypass), 3web's portal operates independently of any Web browser and cannot be hidden or disabled. No matter where the user travels on the Internet, 3web's advertising is always visible. It is because of this feature that advertisers on 3web can be guaranteed "impressions". Media advertising is sold based on the number of "impressions" made on the viewers or listeners. Cybersurf is a communications company in the business of developing and marketing innovative software and connectivity tools. At Cybersurf, our goals are to enhance the use of telecommunications hardware and to develop unique software, which has substantial potential for businesses and consumers.
