MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT - USA Video Interactive has signed an agreement to co-locate its servers in the UUNET data center in Vienna, Virginia. UUNET is an MCI WorldCom Company. With this agreement, users will be able to access streaming and other video via the Internet with USA Video Interactive's state-of-the-art technology, including its Wavelet compression and decompression technology. USA Video Interactive will use this video portal to provide users with the highest quality interactive TV; Internet "TV" commercials developed and produced for clients by the company's video partner, Motion, Inc.; movies; sporting events; and other digitized Video-on-Demand™ content.

When pilot programs involving three of the world's leading educational libraries are complete, digitized educational content can be placed on the USA Video Interactive servers and made available via the UUNET network on a licensed, password-protected basis to schools, colleges and educational institutions worldwide. The three video libraries, AGC/United Learning Educational Media, The Phoenix Learning Group, and Lucerne Media, are providing their most popular content for installation on a USA Video Interactive server at LEARN in Connecticut, which supplies technology and innovation to six Regional Education Service Centers, 120 schools and more than 49,000 students.
