JUNO LANDS DEAL FOR FREEWWWEB SUBSCRIBERS
Freewwweb to Cease Operations, Refer Its Subscribers to Juno

NEW YORK, NY (July 20, 2000) -- Juno Online Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: JWEB), one
of the nation's largest Internet access providers, today announced that it has
received court approval for a subscriber referral agreement with Smart World
Technologies, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Freewwweb, LLC, a provider of
free Internet access. Under the agreement, Freewwweb, which filed for bankruptcy
last month, will refer its subscribers to Juno's free Internet access service.
Freewwweb will receive compensation in the form of Juno common stock (as well as
smaller amounts in cash, in certain cases) for each former Freewwweb subscriber
who becomes a Juno subscriber and satisfies certain qualification criteria.

According to its management, Freewwweb had more than 700,000 active
subscribers as of June 2000. As of March 31, 2000, Juno had more than 3
million active subscribers, making Juno the nation's third-largest provider
of dial-up Internet services, after AOL and EarthLink. Earlier this month,
Juno announced a similar subscriber referral agreement with WorldSpy, another
provider of free Internet access that has recently ceased operations.
Freewwweb subscribers who convert to Juno will be able to continue receiving
e-mail sent to their Freewwweb e-mail address, and will continue to enjoy
completely free Web access. In addition, they will have the option of
upgrading to one of Juno's billable premium services, including its
high-speed broadband service, Juno Express-SM-. "This deal has the potential
to significantly expand Juno's subscriber base, even if fewer than half of
Freewwweb's subscribers switch to using Juno," said Charles Ardai, Juno's
president and CEO. "We are very pleased to have reached an arrangement with
Freewwweb that will enable us to bring their subscribers into the Juno
family."
