                TMNG GLOBAL BOARD APPROVES SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN



Overland  Park, KS - September 5, 2006 - TMNG Global  (Nasdaq:  TMNG), a leading
provider of management consulting services to the global  communications,  media
and  entertainment  industries,  today announced that its Board of Directors has
approved a share repurchase  program.  The program authorizes the purchase of up
to 2 million shares of the company's  common stock,  representing  approximately
12% of TMNG's  public  float.  Under the plan,  the  company  is  authorized  to
repurchase  stock  from  time to time in the open  market or  through  privately
negotiated transactions through September 1, 2008, in accordance with SEC rules.



"Our  reinvigorated  consulting  offerings  and  strong  positioning  around the
wireless  and  IP  technologies  driving  change  in the  global  communications
industry  reinforce  our positive  outlook for the  company's  long-term  growth
prospects," said Rich Nespola, the company's Chariman and CEO. "In light of this
long-term outlook, we do not believe our current share price accurately reflects
the company's  inherent  value.  We believe the  repurchase of shares at current
price levels is a prudent investment for the company."
