Canadians Bank on Internet Domains

TCNS adds an unusual purchase option for domain names with broad consumer appeal.

TORONTO, ONTARIO March 10, 2003 - TransCanada Network Services launches new distribution channel and in just 30 days, customers are buying Internet service at any Bank or Bank Machine nationwide as well as through Bank's online and telephone banking bill payment service.

Like a license plate, a domain needs to be registered and renewed year to year.

Were excited about adding another secure and trusted method of payment to our transaction processing systems," says Gigi Baxter, Operations Manager for TransCanada Network Services.

The Banks have made the bill payment system fast, convenient and available to everyone with an ATM card. Built-in search utilities make it easy - customers look for TRANS", select the company and pay the bill," adds Baxter.

As the popularity of .ca domains continues to grow, TCNS looks for innovative ways to make it easy for Canadians to own them.

TransCanada Network Services is 100% privately held company, registering domains since 1996 to thousands of Canadians. Dot.ca is a node in the TransCanada Network and is certified by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority to sell .ca domain names.
