More good news on IJNT - even more to come: IJNT.net Agrees to Develop and Host New E-Commerce Website; Troublewear.com Will Market Branded Apparel and Accessories to Teens, Age 12 to 21 Business Wire - May 04, 1999 09:31 HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 1999--IJNT.net (OTC BB:IJNT), a leading wireless and high-speed Internet access provider, today announced that it has agreed in principle to develop and host a new website for Troublewear.com, a new company in which IJNT will hold an equity interest. Troublewear.com will sell a branded line of lifestyle apparel and accessories, targeted primarily to teen males aged 12 to 21, exclusively on the Internet through the IJNT developed site, Troublewear.com. The Company expects the new website to begin operating in July 1999. Greg Matsen, division head of Man Rabbit House Multimedia Website Services, the IJNT subsidiary that develops and manages e-commerce websites, said that the Troublewear concept's main strength stems from the successful record of the company's six founding managers. "This management team is terrific," Matsen said. "They have more than one hundred years combined experience in brand and apparel marketing and management, including senior management experience with such companies as Mossimo, Gotcha International, Quicksilver, Fila, Gap, Lucky Jeans, Levi's, and Calvin Klein." Matsen added that the Troublewear.com management also had marketing experience with the National Football League, Major League Baseball, Time-Warner, Harley Davidson, and Budweiser, among others. "Our management team knows this market, which is a growing $13 billion per year industry in the U.S. alone," said Don Kerkes, president of Troublewear.com. "Our primary targets, teenage males, are the heaviest Internet users and, according to Jupiter Communications, apparel sales will be the number one Internet growth category over the next several years." IJNT.net provides high-speed, wireless Internet access and telecommunication services to homes and businesses without the use of phone lines. The Company's subscriber base is increasing as the service expands nationwide. IJNT also provides website development and e-commerce services as well as dial-up Internet access throughout the U.S. and internationally. The Company's rapid growth is the result of aggressive marketing and sales, internal development, acquisitions, and strategic alliances.
