    The new service doubles the Internet bandwidth available to the
University's community, offering for the first time a fiber-optic solution

RMI.NET's optical carrier-class circuit can support over ten times the
University's current bandwidth requirements as demand evolves.

among its major customers the City of Tucson, almost all local Internet
service providers, successful technology firms like Global Atmospherics,
Universal Avionics, and Keane.  The company now proudly welcomes the
University of Arizona to this list.
    "Organic growth is the first component of our five-point strategic action
plan, and this is a great achievement by our team," said Douglas H. Hanson,
Chairman and CEO of RMI.NET.  "Knowing the importance to the University's
users of having reliable Internet connectivity, we are pleased to win their
confidence to forge this long-term relationship."
    "As we continue to implement our enhanced sales and marketing plan, I
expect more announcements of revenue growth," Hanson added, noting also that
"we are well on our way toward our EBITDA breakeven target of December 2000."
