Universe2U to Acquire Digital Global Internet Inc.

RICHMOND HILL, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2001--Universe2U (OTC BB:UTOU)
is very pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire
Digital Global Internet Inc. (DGI), a Baltimore, Maryland-based company.

DGI offers RoomHost(TM), an in-room interactive terminal that provides travelers
with high-speed Internet connectivity.

``The synergies to be realized from bringing together DGI and Universe2U are
expected to be quite exceptional. Universe2U will provide engineering and
technical expertise to develop the networks and content, and DGI will assist our
hospitality partners with marketing through our customizable proprietary
solution,'' said David Shimony, Chairman of DGI. ``Together we will provide a
''one-stop`` expert resource to meet the strong demand for full Internet access
by both leisure and business travelers. Our ability to secure and implement
large contracts will increase dramatically, and the synergies will have a
profound effect on the profitability of the combined entity,'' Shimony
continued.

``We believe that RoomHost(TM) offers the best-in-class solution to the
hospitality sector for value-added amenities. DGI's superb management team is
committed to insuring that RoomHost(TM) will remain an innovative and highly
productive leader. Universe2U, as an industry leader combining forces with a
sector leader, has created a wonderful opportunity to pursue untapped new
sources of business,'' said Kim Allen, CEO of Universe2U.

``Our product, services and partnerships were developed with one major objective
in mind... more ''heads in beds`` for our clients,'' said Bob Dorfman, DGI's
President and CEO. ``Being part of Universe2U will enable us to accelerate our
growth plan and enhance our leading-edge reputation.''

``This acquisition, when completed, is expected to strengthen our relationships
with many of our strategic allies and extend our market penetration. It's a
natural extension to our SmartBuildings(TM) model and can open up an exciting
new era for the hospitality industry,'' added Angelo Boujos, Chairman of
Universe2U. ``The travel and hospitality industry is expected to grow
considerably in both the near- and long-term. This service will be just the
ticket for that Web savvy traveler.''
