SlipStream enables major Asian ISPs to deliver accelerated Internet dial-up services
New Delhi, India - SuperComm - February 1, 2005 - SlipStream Data Inc. today announced that it has signed deals with leading ISPs (Internet Service Providers) in Pakistan, India, Thailand and Bangladesh, as well as an Australian ASP, who have all implemented the Company's data compression and acceleration software to roll out accelerated Internet access services to their customers.
These recent ISP customer wins include IceNet (www.icenet.net) from India, Sirius Broadband (www.siriusbroadband.com) in Bangladesh, CyberSoft Technologies (www.wol.net.pk) in Pakistan, CS LoxInfo (www.csloxinfo.com) from Thailand and Nitro Global, an ASP from Australia. All of these ISPs have chosen SlipStream technology in order to deliver significantly faster Internet access to their subscribers. These new services are likely to change the Internet landscape in each respective market in terms of subscriber satisfaction, churn and market share.
"This growth in Asia highlights the universal demand our software has for maximizing Internet throughput and optimizing bandwidth performance over any network," said Ron Neumann, president of SlipStream Data Inc. "Our technology enables ISPs to quickly roll out fully-branded, value-added services. SlipStream is now tapping into some of the most populated countries, where many users are highly dissatisfied with the current speeds of their dial-up, wireless or broadband Internet access. By deploying SlipStream, Asian ISPs can offer their customers a more fulfilling Internet experience, which strengthens customer loyalty and market share."
After a comprehensive process of testing and analysis, IceNet selected the SlipStream SP web and email acceleration solution. "We needed to deploy an accelerated Internet solution that can easily scale in just a few months with a minimal amount of technical support. SlipStream enabled us to introduce IceXpress - five times faster Internet access, or in other words, a genuine broadband-like experience on dialup or any other Internet connection under 256 kbps throughput," said Chirag Mehta, CEO of IceNet. "Time-to-market was vital to our success and SlipStream delivered. SlipStream's software is customer friendly, easy to deploy and requires minimal resources, making it a key component in our expanding service portfolio. It provides our users with a real performance boost at a very affordable price, and gives us a significant competitive advantage."

The Company's sophisticated acceleration technologies compress, optimize and streamline web content and email, providing a dramatic improvement in access speeds over any network.
