Business & Technology Editors

BOHEMIA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2001--VillageWorld.Com,
Inc OTC BB:VILW, a provider of secure network solutions to military,
commercial and defense industry contractors, today announced it has
received orders from 4 ISP's and content providers for the beta
program of its newly introduced product called MetroIX.
MetroIX provides the Internet community with a scalable, stable
and reliable peering infrastructure for interconnection between
Internet Services Providers. Unlike other Internet Exchanges, where
ISP's must co-locate equipment, and purchase expensive Telco Loops,
MetroIX brings exchange points as close to the edge of ISP Networks as
possible. MetroIX will lower operating costs and increase the speed,
security and reliability of ISP networks.
VillageWorld.Com President Peter Keenan stated, "Industry response
to MetroIX has been overwhelming. We have found a "sweet spot" in the
Internet infrastructure market segment. Our solution, MetroIX
significantly reduces the possibility of a catastrophic network
failure and reduces operating costs to boot."
James Cornman, Senior Network Engineer of Net Access Corporation
(http://www.nac.net) said, "MetroIX is a great product idea. We are
all concerned about the reliability and security of our networks and
have studied our vulnerabilities. MetroIX is a unique solution that
provides another level of protection and at a very competitive price."
Mr. Keenan concluded, "There are approximately 600 ISP's in the US
who can use this product. We have barely scratched the surface in
penetrating this segment and already we have generated significant
interest and 4 orders for our beta program. This helps support our
opinion that within twelve months revenues could exceed $2 million a
year from MetroIX. "
