  INTERNET COMMERCE & COMMUNICATIONS TO REORGANIZE UNDER CHAPTER 11 PROTECTION

     DENVER, CO, JULY 31, 2001 - Internet Commerce & Communications (ICCXC), a
national web solutions/e-commerce and connectivity company, announced today that
it has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11, of the United States
Bankruptcy Code.

"We strongly believe we can emerge from this proceeding a much stronger and
viable company," said Douglas Hanson, Chairman & CEO of IC&C. "As one of the
largest investors, I thought long and hard about this decision, but in the end I
felt this was the best course of action for our employees, our vendors and our
shareholders."

The company also announced that it is working with its secured creditor to
provide the funds necessary to meet its on-going financial obligations.

"Our customers will continue to receive the excellent service they have become
accustomed to receiving," Hanson further commented. "In fact, I hope that this
