                               ('ITG')
                                  
               ITG reaches 300,000 dial up customers.
                                  
ITG  (AIM: ITH LN), through its subsidiaries, GX Networks and  Global
Internet,  is the UK's largest independent Internet Service  Provider
('ISP')  and  is  the subject of a recommended offer from  Concentric
Networks Corporation in a transaction which currently values  ITG  at
approximately #154 million.

ITG  today announced that it has reached an aggregate total  of  over
300,000  customers  for  its  acclaimed Internet  services,  of  whom
150,000  have  been  added in the last two months,  with  the  highly
successful  launch  of  a  number of  new  services.   These  include
Waitrose.com,  FreeNetName  in  the UK  and  The  Music  Factory  and
Macintosh's MyWeb in the Netherlands.

In  April  of  this  year, ITG announced the launch  of  its  Digital
Communities project to partner with retailers, media groups and brand
owners.  This marked a significant shift from a retail to a wholesale
strategy  for  delivering quality Internet access.   Today's  numbers
demonstrate the success of this strategy.

Laurence Blackall, Chief Executive of ITG, commented:

'ITG's  recent success in the high volume Internet access  market  is
based  on  two factors: firstly, we have demonstrated our ability  to
manage large scale dial-up operations.  Secondly, we have initiated a
number  of  important new partnerships and implemented  a  series  of
innovative products, which provide both visibility and a distribution
channel.   A  combination of these factors, together  with  the  high
standards  of  service  we  continue  to  provide,  will  ensure  our
continued growth in this sector.'
