According to Douglas H. Hanson, president and CEO of Rocky Mountain Internet,
"Internet Communications has become a significant regional network services
provider with the ability to develop integrated network solutions in both voice
and data environments. Their technical expertise, strong customer base and
nationwide reputation will propel our company into the ranks of the nation's
most significant players offering complete communications solutions. The synergy
of the two companies will also enable us to gain significant economies of scale
as we reduce overhead as a percentage of revenue." 

John Couzens, president of Internet Communications, stated, "Doug Hanson is an
established, recognizable and respected leader in the telecommunications
industry, and his vision is consistent with the direction of Internet
Communications. In addition, RMI's state-of-the-art infrastructure, introduction
of IP Telephony, and recent strategic partnerships with PSINet, PacNET and
Frontier Corp. will drive Internet Communications to the next level."

Hanson will remain chairman and CEO, and Couzens will become the president and
COO of the combined company. The consolidation of the offices and network will
begin immediately upon completion of the merger. A decision on the new location
has not been made, but will be forthcoming.

RMI has secured short-term financing commitments in the aggregate amount of $42
million for the acquisition from a lending group arranged by Furman Selz LLC, a
subsidiary of ING Barings. The acquisition is expected to close within 90 days.

This press release includes forward-looking statements relating to the future
performance of RMI and Internet Communications. There can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ from the companies' expectations, which
differences may be material. Factors which could cause materially different
results include failure to obtain approval of the merger from Internet
Communications' shareholders, the successful completion of the merger, the
successful expansion into new markets, the integration of the companies
(including achieving mutual cost savings and minimizing costs related to such
integration) and possible negative economic conditions.
