Business Editors
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 1999--
NICOM Telemanagement, Inc. Agrees to Negotiate Hotel Deals in Western
United States
Jones Naughton Entertainment, Inc. (OTC BB: JNNE), announced
today it has signed an Internet Kiosk marketing deal with NICOM
Telemanagement, Inc.
NICOM Telemanagement, Inc., a nine-year-old telecommunications
and marketing firm based in San Diego, California, provides
telecommunications services for over 100 hotels including operator
services, long distance and credit card calls. NICOM also owns over
100 pay telephones installed in hotels throughout the Western United
states.
Jones Naughton's agreement with NICOM Telemanagement calls for
NICOM to utilize its extensive contacts in the hotel industry to
assist Jones Naughton in placing 1,200 Internet Kiosks over the next
five years in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona.
NICOM will support the implementation of this roll-out with its
eight in-house sales representatives and 40 independent sales reps to
place Jones Naughton's Internet Kiosks in prime hotel locations. Also,
per the agreement, NICOM has agreed to sell eight banner
advertisements per Kiosk at $50/month per advertiser.
John Winfield, President of NICOM, commented: "NICOM is pleased
to be a part of Jones Naughton's vision to make Internet access
readily available to the travelling public. As the public, at large,
becomes more Internet dependent on a daily basis via e-mail, on-line
banking, on-line trading, etc., the strategic placement of Internet
access points will allow travelers to check messages, flight
itineraries, stock quotes and the like 'on-the-fly' without having to
connect a laptop computer to a phone jack." Mr. Winfield concluded, "I
believe Jones Naughton is a leader in the advent of widespread
deployment of public-access Internet services."
Joseph Naughton, Chairman of Jones Naughton Entertainment, said:
"With the signing of this marketing agreement, COMMUNITY MARQUEE will
initiate a plan to offer all hotel guests lodging with a participating
hotel, free e-mail access via our Internet Kiosk. Summit Research
Associates, a technology assessment firm, has forecast that Internet
access terminals will grow from an estimated 5,000 units today to more
than 100,000 terminals by the year 2002." Mr. Naughton added,
"COMMUNITY MARQUEE intends to be a major facilitator of that growth."
Jim Cannon, President of COMMUNITY MARQUEE, agreed: "NICOM is
well-connected to the hotel market. Our Internet Kiosk deployment will
complement the current telecommunications services NICOM offers to
their hotel clients. Further, the addition of our Kiosk program will
allow NICOM to offer a wider array of services to future customers."
