Exhibit 99.1

I-Link Agrees to Sell Operations of I-Link Communications, Inc.

Retains VoIP Technology and Patents

Will Focus on WorldxChange Long Distance Business

DRAPER, Utah, December 9, 2002 — I-Link Incorporated (“I-Link”, OTC-Electronic Bulletin Board: ILNK), an enhanced voice and data communications company, today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of I-Link Communications Inc. (“ILC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of I-Link, to Buyers United, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BYRS).   I-Link will retain the ownership of its core voice-over-IP (“VoIP”) technology and patents.  The sale excludes I-Link’s wholly-owned subsidiary, WorldxChange Corp.

The sale includes the physical assets required to operate I-Link’s nationwide network using its patented VoIP technology (constituting the core business of ILC) and a license in perpetuity to use I-Link’s proprietary software platform.  Additionally, I-Link is selling its customer base that was serviced by ILC.  Closing of the sale is subject to obtaining regulatory approvals.  The sale price consists of assumed liabilities of ILC and $3 million of convertible preferred shares of Buyers United, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

As a result of the anticipated sale, current revenue streams from ILC’s telecommunications and other services (which amounted to approximately $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002) and related expenses, will cease.  Buyers United will employ approximately 30 of the I-Link employees currently working at I-Link’s Draper, Utah location. In addition, other operational, personnel and overhead costs incurred by I-Link will be significantly reduced, as the sale to Buyers United will eliminate the need for the current operations at its Draper location.  Future operational results of I-Link will consist primarily of the operational results of WorldxChange.

The sale not only nets I-Link $3 million of convertible preferred shares of Buyers United, which constitutes an approximate 13% ownership (diluted, after conversion) of the company, it will also propel I-Link from a money-losing to an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) -positive company.  I-Link will be an organization with a focused strategy that generates cash.  In addition, I-Link, by retaining ownership of its proprietary technology and patents, will be in a position to realize on their embedded value, which has been validated by their non-exclusive license to Buyers United.

Allan Silber, Chairman of I-Link’s board of directors, said, “The sale of substantially all of the assets of I-Link Communications represents a turning point for the Company.  I-Link will now be an operating company with positive earnings and cash flow.  As well, the shareholders of I-Link will benefit from the Company’s technology and patents developed to date and the licensing opportunities that they provide.  We are very pleased about this transaction.”
