INITIAL DEPLOYMENT TO INCLUDE 4,500 SATELITTE - DOWNLINK SYSTEMS STARTING THIS SUMMER

JUNE 26, 2000 - MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT - USA Video Interactive (NQB: USVO; CDNX: US; www.usvo.com) and Inetcable.com (www.inetcable.com) have established a technology partnership for design and delivery of streaming broadcast video and live TV via the Internet. The contract states that USA Video Interactive will design a system that incorporates multicast video encoding, archiving and delivery as well as unicast video-on-Demand utilizing USA Video Interactive technology and equipment via Inetcable.com's satellite network platform to Internet Service Providers and other users around the world. The initial deployment calls for USA Video Interactive to provide at least 100 satellite-uplink Internet channels and at least 4,500 satellite-downlink systems over the next three years, with deployment to begin this summer.

"We're integrating the USA Video Interactive technologies into our systems to bring an almost limitless array of broadcast channels and other content to our customers," said Ted Boyle, President of Inetcable.com. "Joining this technology together with our global satellite provider opens the door to a whole world of choices covering virtually every interest and available in virtually any language."

"Our partnering with Inetcable.com has helped us maximize the possibilities generated by the convergence of TV and the Internet," said Edwin Molina, President and CEO of USA Video Interactive, announcing the partnership at the company's Annual Meeting in Providence, RI. "Integrating content and delivery in a unique and innovative system like this will set the stage and create the model for Internet TV well into the future."

The systems are based on a system demonstrated earlier this year at the North American Broadcaster's Association annual meeting in Florida. The concept behind the system is to avoid latency and other problems inherent in the Internet network itself by bypassing the "backbone" and delivering signals directly to ISPs. Live TV broadcast signals are routed to USA Video Interactive's WebcasterLive™ encoding engines where they are compressed using the latest state-of-the-art technologies, coupled with Inetcable.com's broadband viewer and caching software, then routed through USA Video Interactive Hurricane Mediacaster™ video servers to be broadcast via Inetcable's satellite distribution system.
