                    E-DISTRICT SIGNS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
                   WITH BUSH INTERNET INTERACTIVE TV PORTAL


e-district.net plc, a leading provider of global interactive entertainment
services and related applications, today announced that it is to provide
entertainment content for Bush Internet's interactive TV portal.

e-district is the owner of the popular LeisureDistrict entertainment service
and the operator of the global LeisureDistrict Network. Under the terms of the
agreement, Bush Internet's interactive TV portal users will be linked to the
LeisureDistrict Network, providing immediate access to a  range of
entertainment content and global community features including LeisureDistrict
games, virtual pets and chat.

Bush Internet is a joint venture between Alba plc and Virgin Net Ltd. Bush
Internet televisions, now being sold widely by major UK retailers, provide
full access to the Internet without the need for a PC or separate set top box.
When using Bush Internet TV, users will be presented with the Bush Internet
portal, which provides a comprehensive selection of content and services
specifically designed for TV access. They will also be able to access the wide
variety of content on the Web and exchange e-mails with friends, family and
colleagues.

Bush Internet is the latest in a series of  high profile organisations to
partner with e-district in providing interactive entertainment to its users
through the LeisureDistrict Network. Similar agreements have recently been
signed in the UK with Cable & Wireless Communications plc and Telewest plc and
in the US with Worldgate Communications Inc.

Steve Laitman, Chief Executive of e-district.net plc, said

'We are delighted to partner with Bush Internet. The mass marketing of web-
enabled television in the UK will enable more people to access and experience
the fun of the LeisureDistrict Network.  We are now established as a key
player in the digital marketplace and our innovative approach ensures that we
are well positioned to maximise advertising and e-commerce revenues.'

Chris Baker, Managing Director of Bush Internet, said:

 'We are delighted to be offering our customers access to the wide variety of
content offered through  the LeisureDistrict Network.  We intend this to be
the first of an extensive range of content partnerships, setting a precedent
for the kind of relationships that we are looking to develop with external
parties. Access to the LeisureDistrict Network guarantees the availability of
strong TV-centric branded content and community to our users.'
