VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA -- Educational Telecommunications
Services (ETS), a division of Alternet Systems Inc. (NASD
OTCBB:ASYI ), announces the approval of a SchoolWeb project
for the Republic of Colombia in cooperation with Grupo Odinsa

Colombia is strategically one of the most dynamic markets
in Latin America with a population base of over 43 million,
with a large number of people between the age of 5 and 18
who would benefit by improving literacy and their overall

our long term business goal of providing quality education
technology in a fast growing large market whose economic potential
has yet to be achieved.
Alternet Systems is dedicated to teaming with governmental
and business leaders of developing nations to provide cost
effective broadband Internet access to schools and medical
clinics in the most remote areas of their countries.

library, SchoolWeb provides all the tools required to create
a high-quality learning environment for students and teachers
in the digital age.
The SchoolWeb network server system is an “ISP-in-a-box”
that gives the schools the same capability that would be available
through an Internet Service Provider, even though there may
not be an ISP for hundreds of kilometres.

provider. The Company has three main areas of focus: SchoolWeb
application software; SchoolWeb network server systems; and
