Original Press Release:



Release of Breakthrough Internet Acceleration Software for all Mobile Phones



LONDON, March 13/--- ONSPEED Mobile to Allow for a Faster, More Affordable Mobile Internet Experience

Z GROUP, the marketing-led technology services company, announces the release of ONSPEED Mobile for virtually all mobile phones. ONSPEED Mobile compresses web pages up to 80% using its CSC compression technology, which is based on ONSPEED's 9-patented acceleration technology providing a dramatic improvement in access speeds and resizes web pages to conveniently fit the size of all mobile screens by applying its Mobile Screen Reformatting technology. ONSPEED Mobile increases Internet connection speeds
by 5 times. The software is priced at GBP19.99, after a 14-day free trial.

Breaking new ground once again, Z GROUP is the first company to offer acceleration software which can be used with all Java-enabled mobile phones, being compatible with any tariff and mobile network. Installing ONSPEED Mobile is as easy as downloading a new ring tone or game. The software has been designed to be simple to use and quick to navigate.

ONSPEED Mobile works by using unique compression to reduce the amount of data received and can be used with any mobile Internet connection - including GSM, UMTS, GPRS and 3G. Where users are billed per MB download, ONSPEED Mobile will have the added benefit of reducing the user's mobile data bill by up to 75%. As text and images have previously been almost illegible and very difficult to use, ONSPEED Mobile delivers the full Internet on your mobile phone and makes web pages easy to read and viewable.

Jamie True, Joint CEO of Z GROUP, said: "The reality is that the majority of mobile phone users have so far refrained from using their Internet functionality due to prohibitive cost and slow connection speeds. Many websites when accessed through a mobile phone are not only slow, but cumbersome to navigate and difficult to read. We are excited about the effect ONSPEED Mobile will have on users' browsing habits. ONSPEED Mobile is a natural progression in Z GROUP's business model, providing a solution to mass consumer needs. By introducing ONSPEED Mobile, we are extending our brand to a potential market of 500 million Java-enabled mobile phones globally."

The software is compatible with most mobile phones and devices. To view a
