e-district.net   plc   ('e-district'),   the   AIM-quoted
owner  and  developer  of LeisureDistrict.net, a leading
interactive family entertainment and community channel,
has signed a distribution agreement with Cable & Wireless
Communications plc.

Cable  & Wireless is the latest cable operator to provide 
access to the LeisureDistrict global interactive family
entertainment network.  Cable & Wireless subscribers will
be able to play games, interact with other users and win
prizes through a variety of entertainment and leisure
activities including games, virtual pets, messaging and
electronic greeting cards.  Uniquely in the UK, Cable &
Wireless digital TV subscribers will be able to interact
with any of LeisureDistrict's registered users from around
the world.

Under the agreement, e-district will also deliver a range
of interactive advertising applications on the Cable & 
Wireless platform, based on age and gender criteria.  
Viewers will be able to interact with advertisements, 
request further information and purchase online.

Revenues  will  be  shared  equally  by  e-district   and
Cable  &  Wireless  and will  be  generated  initially
through advertising and sponsorship. It is expected  that
premium  subscription  based services  will  be  launched
later in the year.

Steve Laitman, e-district's Chief Executive said :

'This agreement makes truly interactive leisure and 
entertainment available to the UK television viewer for 
the first time.  We are particularly excited by the
prospect of launching broadband-specific content and
advertising, which will fully exploit the excellent two-
way broadband communications capability afforded by Cable
& Wireless' infrastructure.

'The  Cable  &  Wireless announcement today follows our
recent IPO on AIM and we expect to produce a good flow of
development news in the coming months.'
