Info Touch and Kronofusion Aim to Cure the Unconnected with the AccessPoint Initiative!

Burnaby, BC - August 26, 2002


Do you suffer from bandwidth separation anxiety? Is your shoulder sore because you’ve been lugging your PC all over the place? Don’t fret, help is on the way. Thanks to an agreement between Info Touch Technologies Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange: IFT) and Kronofusion Technologies Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: KRO), soon you will be able to have complete untethered access to your home or office PC from any public Internet access Surfnet or Zaplink kiosk. The companies plan to introduce the AccessPoint service on Info Touch’s Circle K and Macs convenience store kiosks this winter as part of an initiative to bring ubiquitous access to local communities everywhere.

The business model for Info Touch and Kronofusion is simple: earn recurring streams of revenues from the subscription fees that are charged to users on a monthly basis. Users can sign up for a “Surfnet AccessPoint” branded version of the service at participating Surfnet and Zaplink Internet terminals. The terminals will interactively demonstrate the service and take users through the sign-up process. Info Touch, Kronofusion, and the location partners will share revenues on the subscription fees.

“This is a powerful way to extend Info Touch’s Surfnet brand to the home, office and mobile clients and to further strengthen the e-services kiosk as an enabling communications tool,” said Info Touch Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Hamed Shahbazi. “We believe that this fits perfectly within our strategy to utilize the kiosk as a gateway for access and we look forward to rolling out AccessPoint to other Surfnet kiosk networks”.

"We're very excited to work with Info Touch on this initiative to bring web-based services to the street level," said Todd Brinkmeier, President and CEO of Kronofusion. "Our mandate has always been to create products that make life easier by increasing access opportunities to information. Once signed up as members, users will also be able to take advantage of other technologies such as 802.11b and WAP that enable the same access to your personal files through a wireless client.”

Kronofusion and Info Touch have reached two agreements - one in which Info Touch will offer AccessPoint through their own Surfnet-branded kiosks; and the other where Info Touch will resell AccessPoint to their customers with their own branded kiosks.
