ULTIMATE Internet Access Acquires WorldMarket Services

CLAREMONT, California, October 2, 2001 -- ULTIMATE Internet Access, Inc. (UIA) announced that it has acquired WorldMarket Services, Inc. of Santa Monica, California, effective October 2, 2001. This is the ninth acquisition for UIA since 1998. UIA is the fastest growing Internet Service Provider in the region, with over 11,000 customers. UIA's first acquisition was CYBERG8T, in May 1998. In 1999, UIA acquired Enterprise for Economic Excellence and Genesis. UIA acquired Aviastar, Mountain States Communications, Comstock Net, and EmpireNet in 2000. GT Conex was acquired earlier this year. UIA is one of the last locally-owned ISPs in the region.

Ray Mouton, President of UIA, said: "All of the customers of WorldMarket are business customers and this acquisition furthers UIA's position as the leading Business ISP in the region. UIA has a robust network infrastructure currently serving a large number of businesses and we are ideally suited to handle the mission-critical demands of the newly acquired business customers."

Tony Santos, President of WorldMarket said: "While we had discussions with several candidates for a mutually beneficial merger or acquisition arrangement, UIA was the most capable and professional organization. UIA is a full service company with a strong commitment to customer service. Additionally, UIA has a lot of experience combining customers into their operation with no interruption in services. This was extremely important to us because we have spent years building relationships with our customers."
