            Growing Technology Company, with 2,455 Percent Growth

    DENVER, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- RMI.NET, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMII), a national
web solutions/e-commerce and connectivity company, has once again been ranked
by Deloitte & Touche as one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in

the five-year period from 1995-1999.

    RMI.NET was ranked seventh on the Colorado Fast 50 list in 2000, with
2,455% growth over the measured period -- more than twice the average growth
rate on the Colorado Fast 50 list.  The company is now automatically
considered for Deloitte & Touche's Fast 500 program, a nationwide list of the
fastest-growing technology companies that included RMI.NET in 1999.
    "Winning this award demonstrates once again that we can and do achieve the
objectives we set," stated Douglas H. Hanson, RMI.NET Chairman and CEO.  "We
very quickly built a national company with broad capabilities to serve our
customers and a $50 million revenue base.  We have shown that we can grow
effectively."
    "Now we are focused on profitability, and we're on track to meet our
stated objective of EBITDA neutrality in December," added Hanson.
    "The Fast 50 recognizes and honors the fastest growing regional technology
companies whose leaders have the vision and determination to beat the odds and
build companies that contribute to the world with long-term solutions," said
Steve Berthe, a Deloitte & Touche partner in the Denver office.  "To attain a
listing on the Fast 50 is no easy feat, and we at Deloitte & Touche
congratulate RMI.NET for attaining this honor," Berthe added.
    In addition to ranking in the top 10 of the Fast 50 two years in a row,
RMI.NET was recently named to the Denver Post Top 100 list and was just
selected as one of the 50 companies to watch in Denver by LocalBusiness.com.
    In June 2000, RMI.NET announced a five-point strategic action plan, aimed
at increasing organic revenue, reducing operating costs, retaining customers,
selling market-driven products, and upgrading network infrastructure.  Hanson
noted, "The company is organized to advance these five objectives, and we
expect continued good news on all five fronts in the weeks ahead."
