MADONNA FOR THE MASSES
On November 28, MSN streamed the much anticipated Madonna concert. Enron 
Broadband Services was selected to be one of the streaming providers for this 
event.  There were more than 21,000 simultaneous streams delivered, with more 
than 12,150 unique users viewing the concert over the Enron Network.  This 
was one of the largest single-day events EBS has streamed.


LET'S TALK TRADING 
The EBS Mid Markets Trading group has broken out of stealth mode and is 
spreading the word about its services.  The group has created a weekly 
newsletter as well as marketing brochures and collateral.  The newsletter is 
sent to their customers showing indicative market pricing for that week.  
They hope that the newsletter will educate and entice potential 
counterparties by providing a sample of routes and products and answering 
questions about EBS.  The newsletter's "Topic/Highlights" section explains 
the EBS business model and provides trading and risk management definitions.  
Click here to access the newsletter.  

Trading's new marketing materials include fact sheets highlighting Pooling 
Points and Bandwidth Products.  An IPNet Connect data sheet has also been 
created.  E-mail the trading group at +EBS Trading, for any questions or 
comments on the newsletter or collateral pieces.
