RMI.NET Partners With NetObjects To Provide E-Commerce Solutions
Agreement Gives Small Business and Home Business Easy, Cost-Effective Access For Selling Goods and Services on the World Wide Web

DENVER and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 29, 1999 – RMI.NET, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMII), a national e-business and convergent communications company, announced today a partnership with NetObjects, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETO), a leading provider of e-business software and services for small business and enterprises, to provide small business customers with an easy and affordable way to build and maintain their own e-commerce web stores.

RMI.NET, through a licensing agreement, will offer NetObjects’ Sitematic entry-level e-commerce packages under the RMI.NET’s e-SELL brand.  e-SELL allows small business and home office customers to set up a web store, maintain its content and conduct transactions over the Internet.  By managing these functions, customers are able to greatly lower their cost for an e-commerce site, while keeping it fresh with new content, products and promotions.

 “This is an excellent arrangement for RMI.NET.  It enables us to offer a new web site service, complete with e-commerce capabilities, that is low cost, and quick and easy to set-up,” said Douglas H. Hanson, chairman and chief executive officer for RMI.NET.  “This will allow our customers to get online selling their products and services within a matter of hours.

“With the holiday here and estimates that this will be a record year for Internet sales, we want to help our small business customers establish an online store, so they too can benefit from this explosion in Internet sales,” Hanson added.

“This alliance illustrates the commitment that RMI.NET and NetObjects have to ensuring the success of small business customers,” said Steve Mitgang, executive vice president of small business and corporate marketing for NetObjects. “With its focus on providing e-business applications, high-speed Internet access and web solutions to small and medium-sized businesses nationwide, RMI.NET represents a substantial distribution channel for NetObjects online e-commerce platform and technology.”

RMI.NET will offer multiple packages under its new e-SELL Entre and e-SELL Small Business Solution (SBS) brand, which are targeted for very small businesses with up to 20 employees.  Monthly packages start at $49 and will include a one-time set up fee and nominal monthly charges.

RMI.NET’s current e-SELL package has been renamed e-SELL Custom Business Solution (CBS) 2.2.  It will remain at its current price structure, and includes a one-time setup and monthly fee. The e-SELL CBS is targeted for businesses of 20-100 employees.
