    CHULA VISTA, Calif., Oct. 5 -- BAT International
(OTC Bulletin Board: BAAT) is currently in the process of bringing up a number

evening, the new owner of the web hosting company that BAT is contracted with,
Online Television Network Services, Inc., experienced a complete site shutdown
due to miscommunication with phone companies about the timing of T1 telephone

Batsupercar web site at http://www.batsupercar.com (also can be reached using

customers and investors and has been assured by Online Television Network

additional announcements regarding new web sites that will be coming on-line
in the near future.
