SALT LAKE CITY / Oct. 2, 2001--STSN, the leading global provider of high-speed Internet access and specialized broadband services for hotels and conference centers, recently acquired the assets of Show Digital Inc., one of the leading Internet service providers for the hospitality and convention industries.

The acquisition will allow STSN to offer high-speed connectivity to tradeshows and convention halls not wired to the hotel.

Show Digital specializes in providing Internet and connectivity service for trade shows, corporate meetings, and special events. The company brings relationships with key venues in the industry, such as the Jacob Javits Convention Center, NY Hilton Hotel and Towers, Sheraton NY and Chelsea Piers, and many more – who will continue to receive high-speed Internet access services.

"We are very impressed with Show Digital's product and the strategic relationships they have developed," said Will West, president and CEO of STSN.

"Their offering complements STSN services, and allows us to expand our footprint to better serve the corporate customer outside of the hotel. In addition, Show Digital's meeting planners and corporate customers will be encouraged to book conferences at STSN hotels. This further demonstrates STSN's commitment to driving revenue to its hotel partners."

As part of the acquisition, Show Digital has been integrated as a division of STSN specializing in tradeshow and special event connectivity. Elmo Doig, former CEO of Show Digital, brings his expertise to the company as the general manager of tradeshows.

"STSN's stability in the market and service personnel across the country, combined with Show Digital's experience in this segment, will allow us to provide a service level to a segment that is growing rapidly and needs a reliable provider," said Elmo Doig, former CEO of Show Digital. "We can now service our meeting planners and corporate customers in over 430 nationwide venues."

STSN and its new Show Digital division offer full service high-speed conferencing solutions designed to provide conference attendees with secure access to online resources ranging from individual or multi-user connections to video conferencing and webcasting. The STSN conferencing solutions make business meetings more productive, dynamic, and cost effective.
