Telenor and Exent Team Up To Provide Subscription Based Gaming and Edutainment Services

Bethesda, Md., November 18, 2002 - Exent Technologies, the global leader in Applications-on-Demand technology, announced today that it has been chosen as a primary technology provider to run Telenor's new Games and Family subscription services, under the iCanal brand.

"Telenor is very happy to cooperate with Exent in bringing out top games and applications to our broadband customers", said Thomas C. Skovholt, Project Leader, at Telenor. "Exent's state of the art technology enables Telenor to exploit multiple business possibilities to effectively differentiate our broadband products, increasing user loyalty and decreasing churn rates".

The new iCanal portal, which was launched today, is the main premium games and education on-demand broadband service in Norway.
