                    INTERNET TECHNOLOGY GROUP PLC
                       ('ITG' or 'the Company')
                                  
   ITG LAUNCHES 'FREENETNAME', AN INNOVATIVE FREE INTERNET PACKAGE

ITG  (AIM: ITH LN), through its subsidiaries, Global Internet and  GX
Networks,  is the UK's largest independent Internet Service  Provider
('ISP').  freenetname is the only complete Internet package to  offer
a  free domain name, free Internet access, free technical support and
free web space.

ITG   today  launched  the  UK's  most  innovative  subscription-free
Internet  service,  freenetname, with  a  nation-wide  marketing  and
promotional  campaign.  The service, which targets  consumers,  gives
its  users  the  opportunity  to create their  own  identity  on  the
Internet  by offering them a free domain name.  Until now,  the  cost
and complexity of acquiring a domain name has deterred all but a very
small  number  of Internet users from registering their own  domains,
and  they  are almost exclusively used by companies.  By  eliminating
what  is  typically  a  #100  fee, and  automating  the  registration
process, individual users will now find it simple to create their own
lasting identity on the Internet, and for no charge.

The  service is further distinguished by being the first to  offer  a
toll-free  help desk instead of the 50p per minute typically  charged
by most of the better-known services.

Laurence Blackall, Chief Executive of ITG, commented:

'The biggest challenge to subscription free ISPs has been shown to be
retaining  users.   We  feel that the combination  of  award  winning
service, a lifetime identity and a free helpdesk will be a compelling
offer  to  both  new  users and existing users of  subscription  free
services.'
