Re: Netbay executes agreement with Metro Trains to introduce Melbourne’s largest
free WiFi network

Netbay Internet Pty Ltd ("Netbay") has advised GoConnect Ltd ("GCN") that Netbay has
executed an agreement with Metro Trains Melbourne Pty Ltd or MTM for Netbay to be
the operator of a free Wifi (Wireless Internet) service on MTM operated train station
platforms in Melbourne City (“Metro Netbay free WiFi Network”).
MTM is the operator of train services in Melbourne and Netbay is an ADSL 2 +
broadband service provider based in Melbourne.
According to today’s report in the Herald Sun news, More than 100,000 commuters a day
will have free WiFi access at Flinders St Station in Melbourne City from next month.
Metro spokeswoman Geraldine Mitchell said if the three-month trial proved a hit, free
Internet access would be rolled out to all stations on the City Loop.
Melbourne City will be the first city in Australia to be connected with free WiFi service
on train station platforms and this is supportive of the goals of the Future Melbourne Plan
of the City of Melbourne, to be a knowledge city, a creative city and a connected city.
With daily commuter traffic of over 500,000 people, upon full penetration, the Metro
Netbay free WiFi Network will have monthly users cumulatively of over 15 million
people, representing a new and significant online platform for the promotion of and
communication for the City of Melbourne, both for visitors to Melbourne and for
residents, businesses and merchants in the City of Melbourne.

The increasing popularity of smartphones and tablet PCs with Internet connectivity will
ensure the success and popularity of the Metro Netbay free WiFi Network. According to
netbay, the Network is designed to provide commuters with an online access speed of up
to 20 times faster than 3G mobile network.
Following GCN's announcement to the ASX on 11 July 2011, of the agreement between
Netbay and GCN, for GCN to be the media sales agent for the Netbay WiFi service, GCN
and Netbay have worked closely together and GCN has provided media technology
support to Netbay to ensure a successful implementation of the Metro Netbay free WiFi
Network and to develop this WiFi service into an exciting new communication platform
for commuters, residents, businesses and merchants visiting or living and working in the
City of Melbourne.
GCN's experience, technology and expertise in operating a significant free ISP (Internet
Service provider) service in 2000 will be invaluable in contributing to the success and
revenue of the Metro Netbay free Wifi Network. In 2000, GCN operated one of the top
ten ISPs in Australia as a free ISP supported by interactive video advertising, and was
able to deliver targeted advertising based on age, gender, and location of the users.
