international model for streaming media services and technology provider. The
division created by the unification of the two companies will be identified as
Streamedia-Sibintek in the United States. This alliance will provide Streamedia
and its clients with highly competitive technology and coding capabilities, in a
modern, well-managed and quality-conscious environment.

to utilize the Russian Internet technologists that are known worldwide for their
advanced technological capabilities in an environment that meets our high
standards for quality," said Gayle Essary, Streamedia Chairman.
