The agreement allows Providea to offer MIVNET affiliates the world�s most
reliable and robust switched digital network from AT&T at an extremely
competitive rate. The agreement establishes a direct point-of-sale
relationship with MIVNET affiliates, increases the number of endpoints on

opportunity to provide MIVNET the complete range of Providea�s products and
services.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with MIVNET and their registered
affiliates - it�s a
win-win deal! Providea gains access to a large installed base of video users

best-of-class videoconferencing equipment, network and conferencing
services. Affiliates can now order directly from Providea at extremely
attractive rates. Nothing could be easier,� said Jim Reidenbach, Providea�s
Executive Vice President of Sales.

customers, generating revenues as well as savings! It really is the best of
both worlds,� added Reidenbach.

videoconference service provider that understands the value of being part of
an organization that works for the benefit of its membership. This agreement
