Service Represent Immeasurable Opportunities for Growth and Expansion in a Market

Projected to Reach $55 Billion in 2014 –

Sterling, VA – March 4, 2013 – IceWEB, Inc. (OTCBB:IWEB), an award-winning Unified Data Storage

appliance provider for cloud and virtual environments that features highly secure, scalable IceBOXTM

Private and Hybrid Cloud solutions, today announced that it has executed a Letter of Intent to acquire

Computers and Tele-Comm., Inc. (“CTC”), a privately held technology company, founded by visionary

technologist Graeme Gibson, and built over the last decade alongside Executive Vice President of Sales,

Larry Levin. Headquartered in Kansas City, MO., CTC owns and operates a full service, uniquely

expandable datacenter, a wireless Internet Service Provider, and a carrier-neutral Network Access Point

(NAP), which represents a unique and strategically valuable asset.

Rob Howe, IceWEB CEO, will host a webcast discussing the details of the acquisition in depth this

Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 5pm Eastern Standard Time. The web address for the streaming webcast is

“This acquisition positions IceWEB as a complete cloud services company,” said Rob Howe, CEO. “We

will now be able to aggressively compete in the cloud computing space, which is estimated by Forrester

Research to reach $55 Billion in 2014. We have firmly established ourselves in the storage market and

the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) file-sharing space. This acquisition adds a major set of additional

critical components, capabilities and extensions to those solutions, beginning with our own fully secure,

powerful, and expandable datacenter,” Howe said.

Commenting on the acquisition, Graeme Gibson, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of CTC and the

KC NAP said, “We are immensely pleased to be able to combine the unique technological strengths of

our companies and to join this executive team led by CEO, Rob Howe. In June of last year, we embarked

on an effort with Streamside Ventures to scale our capabilities and our reach. This new opportunity with

IceWeb is the culmination of years of hard work with our combined talent and the leadership of our

Streamside partners. In our first conversations with IceWEB, the powerful synergies between our two

companies became obvious. IceWEB’s unique equation of Data Storage hardware and software and their

advanced capabilities in BYOD and the cloud, in combination with our NAP’s routing power and our

datacenter’s enormous expandability will create a formidable force in the market. The value of the NAP’s

distribution and connectivity to all of North America at latencies impossible to achieve from either coast

cannot be overestimated.”

Howe added, “It is important for our customers and shareholders to fully comprehend the unique physical

assets of CTC. The carrier-neutral NAP is not only a rare, highly-sophisticated technology, but it also

represents a significant competitive advantage in that it enables the datacenter to provide customers with

the lowest transmission latency possible. That means their data moves faster, saving critically important

time. With this acquisition, we are also gaining the ability to expand the datacenter on-demand into an

astounding one million or more square feet of highly secure, energy efficient, disaster-proof space in a

purpose-built structure housed in an underground limestone cavern. These capabilities, security and

expandability are success-critical in the cloud services arena, and now IceWEB has them.

When you add to that the CTC wireless ISP business, you have a set of capabilities unique in the cloud

services industry. IceWEB will have the ability to address literally every critical need of customers

seeking full or hybrid cloud solutions with unlimited capacity and expandability.

IceWEB has acquired remarkably talented people, defensible technology and enormous capacity. The

onslaught of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) age of extensible information management in the

cloud (XIM) has exploded upon and totally disrupted the Information Management world. Executive

management and IT managers alike must find complete, secure solutions, and they must find them now.

With this acquisition, IceWEB has barged our way to the front in the race to capitalize on that BYOD

disruption, with secure, flexible and highly affordable solutions for customers available now in the

Commercial, Education, Government, Hospitality, Healthcare and Non-Profit sectors.

This launches a new era for IceWEB. We will lead, and we will lead boldly.” Howe concluded.

Advising the companies on the merger is Source Capital Group, Inc. (www.sourcegrp.com), a boutique

investment bank based in Westport, CT focused on emerging growth companies in the Communications,

Internet, Digital Media, Energy, and Clean Tech industries.

Press Release. January 10, 2013

PRESS RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, MO., JAN. 10, 2013 – Computers & Tele-Comm., Inc. and KC NAP LLC announced today that Kansas based Streamside Partners LLC has made an investment in the two interdependent companies.  Details of the investment are undisclosed.

Graeme Gibson, the founder of both companies, will move to the role of Chief Technology Officer, enabling him to focus on more sweeping strategic technology initiatives, and will remain a part owner of both companies.  Graeme is the prime driver behind the innovation and expansion of CTC’s city spanning Wireless ISP network, the KC NAP, one of just 14 in the US, and the oldest in the region, and the new Holly Data Center.

Larry Levin, will retain his critical role as EVP, Sales and Marketing, also remaining a part owner of both companies.  Larry has been a fixture in the Kansas City technology community for over a decade, helping to build the CTC and KCNAP ventures, building significant partnerships in the tech community, and meaningful service intensive relationships with our customers.

Scott Kaye, Principal of Streamside Ventures LLC, and Managing Member of Streamside Partners LLC will assume the role of President and CEO of the two companies.

Gibson explains:  “We brought Streamside Ventures LLC in to help us to straighten out some of the operational issues that accumulate as a company grows organically from a start-up to an “upper main street” company over the years. Scott came in to act as the interim VP of Operations, and immediately made a significant positive impact on our efforts, making improvements in every part of our company, with the goal of organizing the important collection of assets and capabilities that we have built, into a platform that can be scaled up significantly.  The relationship with Streamside Partners LLC was a natural outcropping of that relationship.  They bring capital and expertise at a critical time in the development of our ventures.  Now, we are looking forward to our next phase of growth, with the energy, expertise, and capital that comes with this new association with truly exceptional partners.”

Performance Highlights include:

  • A city-spanning wireless ISP network that has increased tenfold in the past year,
  • A customer list that includes some of the most notable names in the Kansas city business community in industries ranging from commercial real estate to finance and investment to manufacturing, distribution, and government.
  • An ability to build networks on short notice to provide temporary services to important institutions and market leading companies like The White House, JE Dunn, AEG Live, Crown Center, KCP&L, and others.  The company built the wireless network that carried the Google Fiber announcement.
  • The new Holly Data Center has achieved new levels of energy efficiency, with almost 20% of its energy demands being met by Solar power.
  • The company has assets tapped directly into the Axon and Santa Fe fiber trenches, with direct connections to over 27 carriers.

From the Streamside perspective, we believe that the demand for more storage, faster speeds, higher levels of security, greater flexibility and efficiency, and more dependability in internet technology are all at the beginning of an exponential growth curve. The economy and the marketplace demand that whether you’re a manufacturer, or a contractor, or a banker, you’ve got to be constantly incorporating greater levels of technological capability into your operations.  Consumers are demanding higher and higher levels of service in every economic transaction, and the technologies that these two companies are involved in…Data Center Services, Managed Services, Networking, Redundant high speed internet access, etc. are all critical for competitive middle-market businesses.

In these two companies, we have an opportunity to participate in a vibrant entrepreneurial and business environment in Kansas City, and to be involved in a critical part of the economy, where we believe our skills and capital rightly-applied can help to build real value for our channel partners, customers, and employees.

We are excited about the opportunity to help these companies to realize their potential and continue to move toward strength as we work to create a culture among our employees, and an expectation among our partners and customers that we will execute on our commitment to provide innovative and unparalleled service, and will keep at the heart of our business decision-making, a deep commitment to their success.
