                        Release of Internet acceleration
                           software for mobile phones



                 ONSPEED Mobile delivers faster, more effective
                   and more affordable access to the Internet





In line with its current product roll out strategy, Z GROUP, the marketing-led
technology services company, announces a major new product launch today with the
release of a mobile software download branded ONSPEED Mobile. The new software
addresses a current potential worldwide market of 500 million Java-enabled
mobile phones and complements the existing ONSPEED suite of products for Dial-up
and Broadband users.



Web browsing on mobiles is very slow and associated data charges are expensive,
with the web pages being very difficult to view.  ONSPEED Mobile fundamentally
changes the web browsing experience. Its unique technology both compresses web
pages by up to 80%, thus providing a 5 times increase in access speeds and,
using ONSPEED Mobile's Mobile Screen Reformatting technology (MSR), optimises
the display of the web page for the particular size of mobile screen, thereby
making web pages faster to load and very easy to read. Since web page data is
compressed, ONSPEED Mobile will also reduce the mobile data costs associated
with web browsing by up to 75%



Installing ONSPEED Mobile is as easy as downloading a new ringtone or game and
the software has been designed to be simple to use and quick to navigate.



Meghan Cady, Marketing Director of Z GROUP, said:



'Many mobile phone users refrain from using their Internet functionality due to
prohibitive cost and slow connection speeds. Many websites when accessed through
a mobile phone are not only slow, but cumbersome to navigate and difficult to
read. ONSPEED Mobile has been designed to solve these problems.'



Jack Bekhor, joint CEO of Z GROUP, added:



'This breakthrough new product addresses a massive global customer base and
establishes a clear lead in a market that continues to show rapid growth. We
believe ONSPEED Mobile will prove to be a significant revenue generator for the
group.'



ONSPEED Mobile will be launched initially in the UK, Germany, Italy, France,
Spain, Russia and the US.



ONSPEED Mobile is available from www.onspeedmobile.com as a 50-100KB download.
ONSPEED Mobile will also be available through all of Z GROUP's existing retail
outlets. It is priced at £19.99 after a 14-day free trial.

•          Increased Internet connection speeds - up to 5 times faster

•          Reduction in associated mobile costs to the end user by up to 75%
