CHATSWORTH, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 4, 2004 -- Joe Naughton, CEO of Go Online Networks Corp. (OTC BB: GONT), announced today that its computer services division Digital West Marketing plans on unveiling a new e-commerce website focused on the latest wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) products and services on Febuary 9th, 2004. Digital West Marketing plans on utilizing a technologically advanced inventory management system referred to as "virtual warehousing."

A recent article from the 12-6-03 edition of the Orange County Register elaborated on this concept. "Technology has made distribution substantially more efficient. Instead of carrying inventory, retailers and e-commerce companies can open up their PC and place an order and give instructions to ship from that distribution center. It's like they have a virtual warehouse." Digital West Marketing has been in discussion with major computer and electronics distributors to build out the e-commerce strategy and will be announcing the formation of these relationships in the near future.

The merchandising team from Digital West have been selecting a product line for the Wi-Fi e-commerce site based upon consumer demand and competitive pricing. Currently products in the Wi-Fi arena will include the latest offerings from D-Link, Netgear and Linksys. Additionally, numerous other manufacturers are being reviewed as potential suppliers in the Wi-Fi arena.

As the Digital West management team pointed out in our November press release, the most promising area of growth for the company is clearly the Wi-Fi arena. The statistical reports deserve reiteration due to the expansive nature of the growth projections. The Boston Consulting Group has estimated that global mobile commerce will generate revenues of $100 billion in 2003 and that an estimated 35 billion emails will be sent per day by 2005. Notebook computer usage is expected to grow to over 150 million users globally and to over 60 million notebook users in the US by 2005. Shipment of wireless enabled notebooks is expected to reach over 15 million units by 2005. Wireless public access service revenues are expected to grow to over $640 million by 2006 up from $11 million in 2001 based on an increase of from 2,000 locations to 42,000 respectively.

About Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi -- short for "Wireless Fidelity" -- is a short-range wireless technology that makes it possible for portable computing devices to connect to the Internet. Business users now routinely seek out Wi-Fi Internet connectivity at public places called "Hot Spots" to access email and web sites on their laptop computers. Hot Spots have sprung up at airports, hotels, and coffee shops. The Wi-Fi services market is projected to grow to $44 billion in 2008. The Wi-Fi technology is being adopted by a wide range of companies and industries including Nextel, Motorola, McDonald's, Starbucks and many other non-profits and small businesses. The equipment is inexpensive, and most new laptop computers and many PDA's are now being shipped with integrated Wi-Fi capability. Wi-Fi technology conforms to an industry standard for wireless equipment -- published as 802.11(x) standards. Wi-Fi equipment operates today in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum -- including the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
