high bit rate applications necessary for
                                          the rich, reliable web site

                                          The two companies will jointly 
market and sell one-stop media
                                          distribution and integration

Internet content. Examples include interactive
                                          video roadshows and streamed video

                                          financial services sector, and real 
time news programs and feature-length
                                          movies in the entertainment and 
media market. The joint arrangement
                                          promotes the delivery by Enron and 
Gotham Interactive of TV-quality
                                          streaming media to Internet 
desktops. 

                                          "Enron's unparalleled technology 
will help us achieve our goal in
                                          providing web customers with a 
rich, fulfilling broadband experience,"
                                          said Michael Sepso, co-CEO of 
Gotham Interactive. "We look forward
                                          to combining the advanced Internet 
streaming media capabilities of
                                          Enron's ePowered Media Cast Service 
with Gotham's technology
                                          acumen and broadband distribution 
partner relationships to help us
                                          propel the broadband marketplace," 
continued Rafi Kronzon, co-CEO
                                          of Gotham Interactive. 

                                          The enabling network behind 
ePowered Media Cast is the Internet
                                          Protocol (IP)-based Enron 
Intelligent Networkv. The Enron Intelligent
                                          Network offers enhanced performance 
due to its ability to store content
                                          "one-hop" away from the user at the 
closest ISP server as well as greater
                                          scaling capability to handle peaks 
in demand with extremely high
                                          reliability and quality. Enron's 
solution is in contrast to the public
                                          Internet's capabilities to deliver 
broadband content, which is often
                                          hampered by packet loss, 
interference, and other disruptions that slow
                                          down transmission speed and 
compromise the end user's viewing
                                          experience. 

                                          "The combined power of Enron's 
ePowered Media Cast with Gotham's
                                          broadband design experience will 
jumpstart the adoption of
                                          mission-critical applications in 
the financial and media sectors. It
                                          exemplifies our ability to 
revolutionize the way businesses use the
                                          Internet," said Joe Hirko, CEO of 
Enron Communications.
