Little Rock, AR --- February 11, 2003 -- World Business Web, Inc. is deploying a parallel network which, while utilizing existing applications and protocols, takes advantage of the abundance of telecommunications infrastructure to provide a complete suite of services for the conduct of e-commerce and digital communications that is exclusively for use by business and government, worldwide. The network provides no cross-connectivity to the public Internet.

The recent worm attack on the Internet provides further evidence of the ongoing cyber-threat" to business and government from the continued utilization of an unregulated and anonymous public Internet infrastructure.

The SQL Slammer" is a newly developed worm" that took advantage of a known vulnerability. The preponderance of critical updates, viruses and security issues has left business, government, software developers and of course IT departments, who are continually allocating resources, in an ongoing battle against malicious activities.
