* Phase 1 Includes Promotion of TiVo's Localized Personal
Video Recorder (PVR) Products In 5 Major Chinese Cities


    BEIJING, June 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- PacificNet,
Inc. (Nasdaq: PACT), a leading provider of gaming
technology, e-commerce and Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) services in China, announced today that its
subsidiary, PacificNet iMobile, has entered into an
agreement with TiVo Greater China (TGC) to market their
PVR/DVR products and services in China. 

    Under this agreement, PacificNet iMobile will promote
and distribute TGC products in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou
as well as other major cities in China. PacificNet iMobile
will expand its marketing channel from online sales to user
trial activities. Leveraging PacificNet iMobile's ecommerce
expertise in China and TGC's advanced technology and sales
support, the two companies will provide quality PVR/DVR
products to consumers across China. 

    PVRs or Personal Video Recorders (also known as a
"DVR" or Digital Video Recorders) improve home
entertainment by providing consumers with an easy way to
record, watch, and control television. DVR/PVR records
broadcast television programming in a digital format on a
hard disk drive rather than on a medium such as a VHS tape,
allowing viewers to pause a live broadcast or replay video
from a buffer, as well as the recording, timed-recording,
and playback of their favorite television broadcasts. 

    Established in 1997, TiVo has experienced significant
growth as its products have proven popular with consumers
in many markets worldwide. TiVo devices have evolved
steadily with many new features such as DVD recording,
commercial skip capability, sharing of recordings over the
Internet, and programming and remote control using PDAs,
networked PCs, or Web browsers. TiVo can be set to
auto-record according to a programming timetable with 80GB
of memory for up to 90 hours of recording. TiVo's many
features have proven a complement and enhancement to the
overall home entertainment experience.  

    PacificNet iMobile currently has about 200 staff in
China and operates its e-commerce business via two internet
portals, "www.iMobile.com.cn" and
"www.18900.com", and a WAP portal,
"17wap.com", for mobile phone browsing. iMobile
has the largest mobile user community in China, with over
3.4 million registered users while "18900.com" is
the leading Internet e-commerce distributor of mobile
products in China with logistic centers and partners
covering 25 provinces and 72 major cities throughout China
and service coverage for 1875 cities in China. In addition,
iMobile's "18900.com" is the designated internet
distributor for Motorola, Nokia, and NEC's mobile products
in China.

    Liu Lei, PacificNet iMobile's General Manager, stated,
"We are pleased to become partners of TiVo Greater
China (TGC) and to help them promote their products in
mainland China. TGC PVR provides interactive personal
entertainment services through existing broadband and cable
TV networks. It enhances the traditional passive way of
watching TV. With a PVR, viewers are no longer constrained
by the timetable of TV programs as broadcast by TV
stations. Instead, PVR users can view whatever they want,
whenever they want to watch it. We will use our expertise
to help TGC boost its sales and increase its popularity
among consumers in China."

    "We believe that the opportunity to work with one
of the leading consumer video electronics providers in the
world is substantial," said Victor Tong, President of
PacificNet. "PacificNet iMobile has demonstrated its
ability to support a wide range of online and offline
marketing initiatives. With the growing demand for
innovative consumer electronics in China, we feel that the
potential to generate strong revenue from this relationship
is significant. PacificNet iMobile's nationwide e-commerce
and customer service centers, covering 40 major cities in
China represent an opportunity to enhance PacificNet's
e-commerce and CRM services network in China."
