PHOENIX – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Feb. 11, 2003 — Global Communication Services Inc. (GCS), an industry leader in networking and communication services announced today that it has successfully completed the acquisition of assets from Slingshot Communications Inc., a Seattle-based company that established itself as a leader in prepaid Internet technology.

Global Communication Services (GCS) has decided to continue promote the "Slingshot" product name in its mission to further the marketing objectives of the original "Slingshot" prepaid Internet product. Namely, GCS intends to fill the demand from consumers who want a low-cost Internet solution without the hassles of the traditional dialup ISPs here in the United States.

The market that the prepaid Internet suite of products is focused on includes:

• Cash-based consumers
• No contractual obligation
• Occasional users of the Internet
• Business travelers
• Businesses looking for high-tech ways to promote their business
• Cable, DSL, and ADSL users who require a backup method of access for when their connections are down or they are away from their home service provider.

The current president and CEO of GCS, David Vindici, commented, "We have great expectations for the Slingshot product. Since the acquisition, we immediately initiated the cost based and network capacity changes needed in order to handle in excess of 3 million users. Additionally, we have executed agreements for distribution that will place the Slingshot brand name in over 40,000 retail locations nationwide by the end of the second quarter of 2003. Furthermore, we have enhanced the features of the product to include local access from over 100 countries, giving Slingshot a true global presence."

Editor's Note:
In August 2001, Juniper Media Matrix reported that there are currently 51 million households in the United States using dial-up access. IDC Research reported in May 2001 that there will be almost 1 billion people using the Internet around the world by 2005. In the United States alone more than 5 million dial-up modem customers change their existing provider each year through attrition. Additionally, the prepaid Internet market has been estimated to surpass the prepaid calling card industry in volume, reaching more than $500 million in the United States within the next two years.
