OF INTERACTIVE GAMES

iTV Games Available in First Deployment of Advanced iTV Services to Charter
Communications Customers

LOS ANGELES, CA—JANUARY 14, 2002—Two Way TV (US), Inc. (formerly known as TWIN Entertainment, Inc.), a provider of interactive television games and technology, and digeo, The Interactive TV Company, have joined forces to create and deliver a suite of interactive game applications for customers in the United States. Under this agreement Two Way TV (US) has delivered an initial set of games to digeo for deployment.

    digeo has entered into a strategic alliance with Charter Communications, Inc., a multiple system operator (MSO). This is the first such agreement for Two Way TV (US) involving a major MSO, using an advanced set top box and the Microsoft TV platform. Charter Communications, through its strategic alliance with digeo, is currently offering Two Way TV (US) games as part of the interactive TV service in its St. Louis trial.

    "This agreement marks our entry into the U.S. market, which we believe will become the world's largest iTV market with interactive games," said Robert J. Regan, President and chief operating officer of Two Way TV (US). "We are excited about this relationship and pleased to be providing our content to Charter's subscribers using the digeo iTV service."

    "The games channel is proving to be one of our most popular iTV services," said Jim Billmaier, chief executive officer of digeo. "Two Way TV (US) games use sound and animation to create a more compelling interactive gaming experience."

    The Two Way TV (US) application enables subscribers to play interactive games as well as respond to advertising campaigns through a click of the remote. For operators, the system provides a potential revenue-generating enhancement to existing subscriber packages. The application is scalable and can deliver live interactive applications to more than one target network and platform type simultaneously.

    "We believe there's a strong future for interactive gaming over the television," said Steve Silva, executive vice president and chief technical officer for Charter Communications. "This kind of service leverages the power of our broadband infrastructure and delivers additional value to our customers."

    "We see our games as a tool that can be used by MSOs, such as Charter, to generate new revenue, attract new subscribers and reduce churn," Regan said. "It's an opportunity to develop and package unique content that can be sold on a subscription or pay-per-play basis and can include prizes, leaderboards and interactive advertising."

    Two Way TV (US) "game packs" offers arcade, trivia, casino and strategy games that are designed to be flexible, letting customers pick and choose what they want to buy. Its focus is on being a "technology enabler" offering technology, production, testing, integration, and exclusive enhanced TV patent based capabilities.
