Cambridge Telcom Report, June 5, 2000

NetworkTwo, a global supplier of single-source managed network solutions focusing on the retail and financial services markets, Tuesday announced that it has joined Diebold's Partner Information Xchange (PIX) program as the first network service partner for the group. NetworkTwo's involvement with PIX heralds a new era in automated teller machine (ATM) convenience, enabling the delivery of new services such as video advertising, event ticketing and secure Internet access.

ATMs are becoming more than simple cash dispensing machines. Businesses are developing new applications for ATMs that can turn these devices into highly interactive access sites to information and services. NetworkTwo offers a global footprint to connect new media content providers with thousands of ATM terminals.

"We are excited about the opportunity to work with Diebold and our PIX partners to develop creative, convenient solutions for new media offerings" said Al Dei Maggi, President and CEO of NetworkTwo. "We believe that our involvement as a new member will provide mutual benefit to program participants and, ultimately, to their customers."

Diebold developed the PIX program as a resource fulfillment function with the primary focus of supporting the technical needs of financial industry partners. The program currently has more than 40 member organizations worldwide. NetworkTwo brings broadband connectivity to the partnership by offering national and international network services supported by complete network management offerings tailored to meet each customer's transaction requirements. The partnership arrangement allows suppliers to deliver efficient, integrated solutions over a secure private network.

"Diebold is pleased that NetworkTwo has become a PIX member," said Leroy Shirah, Vice President, Global Product Planning and Management at Diebold. "The PIX program provides members with information and resources to develop powerful new e-solutions for retailers, financial services companies and networks internationally."
