SpeakOut.com Selects GlobalCenter For Its Internet Infrastructure
Commerce Service Provider to Provide Complex Web Hosting for SpeakOut.com Web site

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Janurary 13, 2000 — SpeakOut.com today announced the selection of GlobalCenter, a Global Crossing company, as its Commerce Service Provider. SpeakOut.com, an Internet information and advocacy destination site has selected GlobalCenter for its ability to offer a wide range of commerce services and the fastest access to its site.

"GlobalCenter has a proven track record in providing the Internet infrastructure .com companies need in their hyper-growth phase," said Ron Howard, Chairman and CEO. "SpeakOut.com is growing rapidly and we needed a CSP that could deliver reliable, responsive service and maximum 24/7/365 support."

SpeakOut.com takes advantage of GlobalCenter's unique Commerce Service Solution, which includes: connectivity, data centers, "on-demand" utility applications and professional services. As a Global Crossing company, GlobalCenter's connectivity integrates the Global Crossing Network, the most expansive, scalable, fiber optic network available. The network gives GlobalCenter the control needed to deliver customer content with the highest performance and availability levels that customers demand.

"Our site will deliver millions of page views per day," said Howard. "We chose GlobalCenter not only for their high performance backbone, but also because they provide enhanced resources that support our relationship with Oracle. Not every CSP provides these types of options for a start-up company."

"GlobalCenter is very happy to be SpeakOut.com's CSP of choice," says GlobalCenter's Vice President of Technology, Paul Santinelli. "We look forward to providing it the only integrated commerce solution designed for scale — from racks and bandwidth, to professional services and utility applications. Our top priority is to make sure that SpeakOut.com is able to deliver its content to its end users."
