Hotel Movie Network Completes Successful Broadband Trial; Hotel Movie Network and AMMTec Enter a Joint Venture to Offer Broadband Services to the Lodging Industry
10 January 2001

PHOENIX / Jan. 10, 2001--Chequemate International [AMEX: DDD] , dba C-3D Digital Inc., announced that Hotel Movie Network, a division of C-3D Digital has entered a broadband services contract with AMMTec Consulting Inc. and formed a joint venture that will allow Hotel Movie Network to offer AMMTec's broadband services and technology to the hospitality industry.

Paul D.H. LaBarre, vice president of operations for C-3D Digital, said, "The use of broadband services in the hospitality industry is becoming more common. With most of the competition running at speeds of 128kbs, Hotel Movie Network's 1Mbps to 10 Mbps services are head and shoulders above of the competition. As we expand our available services to the hospitality industry, we are positioned to access multiple sources of revenue from each room serviced."

Chandos Mahon, chief operating officer for C-3D Digital added, "The addition of broadband service to our existing revenue base will allow Hotel Movie Network to maximize our per room revenues. In our test models with AMMTec, we have seen an increase of as much as 200 percent when overlaid with our current pay-per-view activities.

"As we expand our room base through build-out and acquisition these new services (broadband) give us an exciting new form of revenue. We expect to see broadband bring an additional $100,000 in revenues per quarter to start and as we deploy to many more rooms the numbers could triple becoming more significant than our other lodging services."

Hotel Movie Network will handle installation, technical support services and call center activities for AMMTec. Hotel Movie Network has been performing these services for AMMTec on a trial basis beginning in November 2000, based on this experience the company believes the hospitality broadband services will increase the company's per room cash flow by as much as 200 percent by providing premium state of the art broadband services and support.

AMMTec brings with it, contracts with Sprint Broadband Direct, Broadwing Communications and Allied Telesyn Systems. The strength and track record of these service providers brings confidence with stability, for greater customer satisfaction and profitability.

AMMTec systems allows users the greatest system wide speeds now available for in-room broadband services. Users are able to access the Internet with speeds of 1Mbps to 10 Mbps. This range is available to each serviced room not just a few select locations on the property.
