BATON ROUGE, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 1999--

Internet Media Corp. (OTC: USRF) today reported the successful deployment of a US.RF(TM) Quick-Cell(TM) Wireless CLEC Internet kit, in Santa Fe, N.M. A single representative of Santa Fe-based Internet Service Provider (ISP) Santa Fe Trail Internet Plus installed the US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System and deployed a two-way wireless ISDN-equivalent speed dedicated Internet business connection in less than a day. The Wireless Internet access system is currently serving a network consulting company located in Santa Fe.

"While this first customer only had a need for an ISDN-speed Internet connection, this US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System is capable of burstable T-1 equivalent speeds and will enable us to offer T-1-equivalent bandwidth about 40% below our local market price of traditional, hard-wire T-1 service provided by companies such as US West (NYSE: USW)," said Darrell Davis, president of Santa Fe Trail Internet Plus. "I did the installation myself, and I couldn't believe the simplicity of installation of the Quick-Cell system. Better yet, our customer's Internet connection runs smoothly and it is no longer dependent on the local phone company for a line to the Internet." Davis also stated that Santa Fe Trail Internet Plus is set to establish T-1-equivalent speed service for several Santa Fe businesses, as well as for other businesses and home-users who want Wireless Internet access through the Quick-Cell system. Davis concluded his comments by stating that his company had ordered two additional Quick-Cell systems, for deployment next week in Las Vegas, N.M. and Los Alamos, N.M.

In addition to modem and other related hardware sales, Internet Media will share in all recurring monthly gross revenue generated by its US.RF Quick-Cell technology-partner ISPs.

In commenting on the Santa Fe Quick-Cell installation, James Kaufman, Corporate Development Vice President of Internet Media, said, "There are a few so-called 'industry leaders' who believe the local, independent ISP will become obsolete within in a few years, but we disagree. By emulating the largest Internet companies, Internet Media can, with its US.RF Wireless Internet technology, empower these local ISPs. By tapping into the potential distribution channel that is the thousands of local, independent ISPs around the country, including our CyberHighway, that each year, in effect, resell billions of dollars worth of bandwidth for companies like PSINet (Nasdaq: PSIX) and Electric Lightwave (Nasdaq: ELIX), and account for billions of dollars of hardware sales for 3COM (Nasdaq: COMS), Ascend (Nasdaq: ASND) and Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO), Internet Media could become a leading provider of Wireless Internet access and supplier of related equipment.

"This Santa Fe installation of the US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System is further evidence that any local ISP can, without any on-site assistance from Internet Media whatsoever, in a matter of days, be transformed into a powerful local provider of Internet business solutions. The order of two more Quick-Cell systems typifies the response to the product. In fact, the operator of the Quick-Cell system installed in Casper, Wyo. has ordered Quick-Cell systems for two more Wyoming cities. These ISPs are discovering that the US.RF Quick-Cell system provides them with a very positive future."
