Orbit E-Commerce Inc. (OECI), and its major shareholder, PureNet.Tv Canada Inc. announced yesterday that the system design has been completed and equipment required to deploy the Company's first IPTV facility in China is now being assembled and tested in Toronto.

Over the past three years, OECI and PureNet have worked closely with Zhone Technologies Inc., Tandberg Television ASA, Foundry Networks Inc., and Redback Networks Inc. to develop a digital IPTV network capable of serving millions of subscribers.

The final testing of the digital system in the coming weeks will take place in Toronto where the Company and its vendors will have assembled a working IPTV head-end. The replica of the IPTV head-end will be delivered to China where the Company will commence offering digital video IP services.

The Company's management team is currently in China preparing for the instillation and deployment of IPTV services. This includes ensuring that the physical premises for the head-end equipment are ready and network operations personnel and other staff are in place.

Douglas C. Lloyd, President and CEO stated, "That the opportunity to deploy the IPTV services in China with our recently announced partner in one of the largest markets in the world will allow the consumers in China to experience a fully digital video and internet services where there are no digital cable television or satellite services available. We are confident that our partners not only bring the most advanced technologies to the table, but a strong commitment to the success of this venture. We look forward to working closely with them as we roll out IPTV services to millions of potential subscribers across China.
