World Wide Wireless Communications' Wireless Internet System Doubles in Value

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- World Wide Wireless Communications,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WLGS) reported today that the appraised market value
of the Company is $80 million present value and $350 million future value.
The appraisal, in fact a re-appraisal conducted by Holt Media Group ("HMG") of
Allentown, Pennsylvania, was dated April 30, 1999 and represents a significant
enhancement of the market value of the company, last appraised on December 1,
1998. That earlier appraisal reported a present value of $39 million and a
future value of $250 million.
The fact that the appraised present value of the Company more than doubled
in only five months is principally the result of recent entry by large
telephone companies into the Company's market niche. As noted in the new
appraisal

[t]he union of wireless-cable and the telephone is now only being seen by
the marketplace....as Sprint and MCI WorldCom pay billions of dollars to
play catch-up so that they can use the wireless digital technology for
telephone and Internet access to homes and businesses.

The report further states that "ntil the second quarter of 1999, World
Wide Wireless Communications was virtually the only company with a full vision
of the use of telephone in this environment."
In the appraisal, which was undertaken at the suggestion of HMG in light
of new developments in the industry, HMG acknowledges that its conclusions are
conservative. Nonetheless, in describing the recent "goldrush" by companies
such as Sprint and MCI WorldCom into the wireless Internet market, HMG states
that "all major telco providers have backbone .. the problem is actually
getting into the home...what is called 'the last mile.'" Wireless cable, with
no cable to bury or wires to string, can provide virtually instant access,
with minimal cost, to a home or business.
Douglas Haffer, President and CEO of World Wide Wireless Communications,
Inc. welcomed the reappraisal. Having previously noted that the Company had
viewed recent developments involving Sprint and MCI WorldCom validation of the
Company's long-held vision for wireless Internet, Haffer also noted HMO's
continuing description of the Company as being enviably positioned "at the
cutting edge of tomorrow's communications industry technology."
"The HMG report," Haffer stated, "confirms the position of the Company in
the industry as one of the wireless Internet's stronger players." He noted
that, unlike the companies recently acquired by Sprint and MCI WorldCom, World
Wide Wireless Communications is debt free and unencumbered by out-dated
analogy transmission equipment. In light of these circumstances, the Company
reported, it continues to actively seek-out new acquisitions to enhance future
operations consistent with its business plan to rapidly position itself in
domestic and global markets.
