NEW YORK -- Bell Atlantic has won a contract to deliver a complete
suite of Internet solutions to Information-Highway.com (OTC BB:
IHWY), an Internet service provider (ISP) based in British Columbia, Canada.

Under an agreement announced today, the Bell Atlantic Data Solutions
Group will provide Information-Highway.com with Bell Atlantic
Infospeedsm DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), Internet Protocol (IP) routing
service and affordable, high-speed Internet access.

Information-Highway.com will repackage the services and create its own
Internet offering, which will feature stock quotes, local news and weather,
and other specialized content. Information-Highway.com will begin
offering the services to customers in the Bell Atlantic service area next
month.

"Our goal is to give business customers -- including Information
service providers -- the tools they need to gain a competitive edge in a
world where e-commerce reigns supreme," said Joe Farina,
president and chief executive officer of the Bell Atlantic Data Solutions
Group. The Data Solutions Group specializes in meeting the data
networking and Internet needs of large business customers.

"We're providing our customer, Information-Highway.com, with
the DSL platform and network elements it needs to succeed as an
ISP," said Farina. "In turn, Information-Highway.com will
supply a full range of Internet solutions to its customers. "

The arrangement enables Information-Highway.com to establish its first-
ever DSL presence in the eastern U.S. Information-Highway.com
provides Internet services to customers in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.

"Our company will now be a full-service provider of Internet
solutions with a much larger geographic reach," said John
Robertson, chief executive officer of Information-Highway.com.
"We expect the agreement with Bell Atlantic to dramatically
increase our customer base in the next three years."

Bell Atlantic Infospeed DSL provides reliable Internet access at speeds up
to 125 times faster than ordinary dial-up modem connections. DSL
enables users to remain connected to the Internet 24-hours-a-day,
eliminating annoying busy signals as well as the time and cost of waiting
to connect. And, because the service works on the same line as the phone,
customers don't have to pay for additional lines -- they can talk while they
search the Net.

"Packaging Bell Atlantic's Infospeed DSL with the appropriate IP
technologies creates a powerful Internet access package that delivers super
speed at a lower cost," said Farina. "Our offering will tear
down the financial barriers to small businesses looking to compete with
e-commerce heavyweights."
