I-LINK TO FURTHER EXPAND ITS IP TELEPHONY NETWORK, MAKING IT AVAILABLE TO
60% OF THE U.S. POPULATION 

     DRAPER, Utah (Sept. 24, 1998) -- I-Link Inc. (Nasdaq: ILNK), an enhanced
voice and data communications company, today will announce plans to further
expand its IP (Internet protocol) telephony network in 1999, making it
available to 60 percent of the U.S. population.  The announcement will be
made at I-Link's National Conference in Salt Lake City.
     "When completed in 1999, I-Link's expanded IP telephony network will
include thousands of cities in such far-flung metropolitan areas as Atlanta,
Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City,
Louisville, Memphis, Minneapolis, Nashville, Sacramento, San Antonio, San
Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C., just to name a few,"
said John Edwards, I-Link chairman and CEO.  "Now that we have proven that we
can successfully layer our IP technologies on top of any type of
telecommunications infrastructure - be it a copper, fiber optic or mobile
system - we are ready to bring our enhanced communications services and great
long-distance rates to the majority of the U.S. population via our VIP
telephony network."
     I-Link claims to have the largest IP telephony network in the U.S.,
bringing enhanced services and long-distance rates as low as 4.9 cents per
minute to customers in more than 200 cities in the greater Los Angeles/Orange
County, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Phoenix and Salt Lake City metro areas. 
(I-Link previously announced its intent [Aug. 13] to also expand its enhanced
services IP telephony network into the New York City, Chicago, Seattle,
Orlando, Fla., and Pittsburgh, Pa., markets by Jan. 1, 1999.)
     "The expansion of I-Link's IP telephony network will make it that much
easier for our representatives to sell I-Link's enhanced and traditional
communications services," said Jon McKillip, vice president of sales and
marketing for I-Link Worldwide.  "The upside is that as we bring new areas
online, more and more of the U.S. will be able to have long-distance rates as
low as 4.9 cents per minute.  In addition, we will also bring local access to
V-Link[TM] - our powerful environment for enhanced communications services -
to more than one-half of the U.S. population.  That's also very exciting."

"Building" a Virtual IP Network 
     "Interestingly, due to the design of our IP software and our low-cost IP
routers, we have been able to 'build' a virtual IP telephony network by using
new or existing copper wire or silicon strands deployed by other
communications companies," said Bob Bryson, I-Link vice president of product
marketing.  "Not only that, but I-Link uses this infrastructure 10 times more
efficiently than existing carriers. As a result, not only do we not have to
spend hundreds of millions or billions of dollars building a new network (as
many other companies are doing), but we also don't have to tie up as much
infrastructure to achieve our goals.
     "This is not to say that we don't control and manage the underlying
infrastructure in our IP telephony network, because we most definitely do.
It's important to remember, however, that we also created the technologies
that allow us to create this virtual IP telephony network at a fraction of
the cost.  In fact, the more of this IP telephony network we deploy, the less
expensive and more profitable it becomes to operate."
     
Preliminary Details of I-Link's Expanded IP Telephony Network
     Specific details of the individual calling areas served by I-Link's
expanded IP telephony network will be released today at its National
Conference in Salt Lake City. A preliminary list of the metropolitan areas
that will be covered by I-Link's expanded IP telephony network when fully
deployed in 1999 is shown below in alphabetical order, followed by the area
code(s) which will be fully or partially served per metro area.  (A complete
list of the cities served in each metro area will be released as I-Link's IP
telephony network is deployed.)
