                      E-DISTRICT.NET PLC SIGNS AGREEMENT
                                PLANETWEB INC.


e-district.net  plc  ('e-district'), a leading provider of global  interactive
entertainment services and related applications, has signed an agreement  with
Planetweb  Inc.,  an open systems provider of software and  services  for  the
Internet  appliance market, to make available its content and global community
to SegaR DreamcastTM users in the United States.

The  Planetweb Internet browser, used by companies including Sega of  America,
grants  consumer  electronic devices access to the  Internet  and  to  device-
specific  Internet  portals. The Sega Dreamcast, which  ships  in  the  United
States  with a 56K modem and the Planetweb Internet browser, has sold  over  2
million units in North America since its launch in September of 1999.  The  e-
district.net plc agreement with Planetweb means that Leisuredistrict.net  will
be   a   core   content  component  on  Planetweb's  Dreamcast  portal   site,
dreamcast.planetweb.com.

The  agreement  confirms e-district's position as a leading innovator  in  the
interactive market place across all platforms and is the latest in a series of
ventures  by  e-district  with  high  profile  organizations,  including   the
provision of controlled community internet access to cable platform subscriber
services, including Cable & Wireless Communications plc, and Telewest plc, and
the provision of content to ISPs, including Freeserve.

Steve Laitman, Chief Executive of e-district, said:

'Our  bold vision has once again confirmed our position as a driving force  in
the  interactive  appliance  market place which, according  to  a  recent  IDC
report,  is  likely to be the next wave of global computing, with  a  possible
market  of  $13.7  billion  by  2001.  We  were  first  to  market  delivering
entertainment  and  community services to digital and terrestrial  interactive
television,  and  that experience has provided us with  a  knowledge  base  to
deliver  to the games console platforms. Our innovative community and  content
provides  partners with exactly what they want and need, if they are going  to
keep  their customers satisfied. This is just the first of many agreements  in
this massive market sector.'
