Press Release Summary = Single and multipart binary article retention has increased
to 100 days at Giganews

Press Release Body = Austin, TX - Today Giganews announced the completion of major
storage upgrades for its global Usenet cluster which will increase binary newsgroup
retention to 100 days over the next 2 weeks. 100 day retention across all binary
hierarchies is a first for the Usenet community and part of a series of recent
service improvements offered by Giganews.

In September of 2006 Giganews was the fist Usenet provider to offer 90 days binary
retention across all binary hierarchies, and followed that announcement with the
release of 256 Bit Encrypted Usenet Access -

\"As the world\'s leading premium Usenet provider, Giganews is constantly raising the
bar by expanding on existing features such as retention as well as releasing cutting
edge technologies such as 256 bit encrypted Usenet access. We feel we have a
responsibility to our customers to constantly re-invest in our service so we can
continue to offer the best value on Usenet. Our recent storage upgrade and
subsequent increase to 100 days retention is just part of this ongoing effort.\" says
Jonah Yokubaitis, Giganews CEO.

In addition to Giganews\' upgrade to 100 days retention in binary newsgroups,
Giganews continues retain text articles indefinitely, and the current text retention
of 1300+ days grows day by day.

All Giganews accounts will benefit from the storage upgrades and customers will
begin to notice the binary newsgroup retention levels grow over the next 2 weeks.
There are no configuration changes necessary for Giganews customers to enjoy the new
retention levels.
