Coyotenet reports on reliability

July 28, 2002

RICHMOND, British Columbia -- Coyotenet Communications Group Inc. (TSX Venture:COY), which operates a network of public access kiosks in Canada and the United States, announced what it called encouraging figures on the quality of its equipment on July 26.

According to the company, Coyotenet kiosks registered fewer than 100 trouble tickets from Jan. 1 through July 22, a stretch of 40,000 terminal service days. The company said trouble tickets were a request for service requiring the replacement of a component or assistance from a system administrator to correct a problem.

While the 40,000 terminal service days covers the days that each of Coyotenet's kiosks were in operation, a company release did not specify exactly how many unique uses of the kiosks were involved. Company officials did not return a call seeking comment.

Coyotenet's kiosk network provides Internet access, primarily to travelers. According to documents available on the company's Web site, Coyotenet had 267 terminals deployed as of June, with another 80 scheduled for deployment by the end of September.
