portfolio of commodities traded through Enron Media Services.  We are pleased 
to report that we have signed our first physical advertising trade.  It is 
valued at $1.3 million and will cover a three-year time frame.  Due to a 
counterparty confidentiality clause, we cannot disclose the client,s name. 
Congratulations to the Enron Media Services group.

EBS Partners with eterniTV and iPIX
EBS has agreed to deliver broadband content for eterniTV and Internet 
Pictures Corporation (iPIX). A leading business-to-business video service, 
eterniTV provides high-quality streaming content in the form of short videos 
to e-Business web sites. IPIX, a leader in dynamic imaging solutions,

EBS Streams International Cricket Tournament
The Coca-Cola Trophy 2000 Cricket Tournament  held October 20 through October 
29 in Sharajah, United Arab Emirates  was webcast live to Internet users over 
the Enron Network.  WorldTel, one of the world,s leading marketing and 
production companies for the sport, carried live audio and video coverage of 
the Sharajah matches on its web site.  The tournament reached 165,000 viewers 
worldwide with 60 percent of those using a &broadband8 connection.  This 
surpassed Enron,s earlier Cricket webcast of 142,000 viewers in March.

Introducing the Enron Network
The Enron Network icon is now what customers see when they view high-quality 
streams delivered through our network. Replacing the &ePower8 logo and 
verbiage in all communication, this icon represents an enhanced online 
experience. In place of ePowerOnline, our Extranet is now called 
EnronNetworkOnline.  ISPs that were formerly &ePowered8 are referred to as 
ISPs that are &connected to the Enron Network.8

To facilitate the Enron Network logo, please remove all ePower logos and 
related verbiage from all external and internal communication.  If you need 
assistance in converting language from ePower to Enron Network, please 
contact Janet Johnson, director, EBS Marketing Communication, at extension 
6-2011.


Great &PULSE8 Results 
A big thanks to EBS employees for responding to the "PULSE" all-employee

are in and will be analyzed over the next several weeks.  EBS employees will 
hear more about the survey results and next steps in late January.
