FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NumberWeb Presents a Revolutionary Web Technology at CHTF

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 16, 2003 -- NumberWeb Technologies
today presented a revolutionary web technology at the China
Hi-Tech Fair (CHTF) 2003 in Shenzhen. The new technology
invented by NumberWeb is termed Phone Number Web or PNW in
short. The web pages in PNW are addressed by phone numbers.
NumberWeb aims to use the PNW technology to provide web
presence for every phone user.

"Naming is a fundamental issue in every computing problem,"
Dr. Dongxiao Yue, the inventor of PNW said. "We can create
web sites today, but the current domain name scheme does not
allow sites to be easily discovered, thus the majority of
businesses and individuals can't take full advantage of the
internet, they are mere consumers of information provided
mostly by the few large ICPs.  By using globally unique
phone numbers as web site addresses, people can establish
global 24x7 web presence that are easily discoverable.
People don't have to learn the English alphabet to write
down URLs, and the existing phone directory services can
help finding the phone numbers of businesses and
individuals."

The PNW system includes components for users to create and
administer their web pages through a simple interface. PNW
makes the creation, publishing and access of web pages as
simple as making and receiving phone calls. No doubt, this
technology will expand the web by orders of magnitude.
Common people will be able to create their own always on web
sites. Most importantly, such sites can be easily discovered
and accessed, therefore effective.

By using NumberWeb's technology, a single phone number is
sufficient to identify and address its owner in both the
communication network and business world. With PNW
technology deployed, a globally recognized telephone number
will be the signature information access point of individual
and business alike, from which rich hypermedia information
can be published and retrieved. When a phone number is
displayed on the screen of a PNW enabled phone device, the
user can enter the associated web site by pressing a
function key. Effectively, we will extend the phone number
with functional dimensions which could encompass all of the
existing internet services, such as e-fax, e-mail,
e-commerce, etc.

Dr. Yue, who presented at the CHTF conference, added,
"Logically, PNW makes a phone number a source of rich
information and interaction. PNW enables businesses and
inviduals to take full advantage of the web. PNW will
provide true value to all phone users. As the number of
phone users is huge, we will see a big bang of the global
information network resulting from the deployment of PNW.
The whole IT industry will benefit from such expansion and
demand."

NumberWeb Technologies is seeking investment and
cooperations in development and realization of the PNW
technology.

NumberWeb is headquartered at the Silicon Valley in USA and
plans to establishes offices in China and other countries.
