DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - December 22, 2009) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NWMT) today released an on-demand Webcast providing an update on progress in Africa in conjunction with the Company's Greenfield program and its participating companies. NewMarket started the Greenfield partnership program to accelerate the introduction of new technologies into emerging markets around the world where technology buying is on the rise, while improving return on investment (ROI) potential. Companies currently participating in the program include China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: CCTR), NuMobile, Inc. (OTCBB: NUBL) and Alternet Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: ALYI). These companies were chosen to participate in the partnership program based on their technology and service offerings in conjunction with the emerging geographic markets in which they currently participate, such as China, Latin America and East Africa.

China Crescent Enterprises, Inc.

China Crescent is a systems integration service provider in China that markets technology outsourcing services that include the sale and service of brand name technologies such as Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, IBM, HP and Dell. China Crescent reported over $40 million in annual revenue in both 2007 and 2008, and recently reported $30 million in revenue through the first nine months of the year ending September 30, 2009, with record net income of $1.8 million compared to $517k in net income for the same period in 2008.

NuMobile, Inc.

NuMobile is building a portfolio of software solutions for the global mobile computing and smartphone market and in 2009 acquired two companies with proprietary technology focused on mobile network security. Additionally, NuMobile announced a potential $20 million contract and two additional pending acquisitions focused on SMS, MMS, IVR, and identity management solutions for SaaS and Cloud computing.

Alternet Systems, Inc.

Alternet's solutions focus on effective and profitable mobile payment and m-commerce systems and solutions that tie together telecom operators, financial institutions, and payees such as mass public transportation and utility providers. With the majority of the population in emerging markets belonging to the "unbanked" sector, mobile banking opens up a major opportunity to deliver financial services to a rapidly growing subscriber base. Penetration of mobile services around the world has increased rapidly, with the subscriber base worldwide growing from just over 11 million mobile phone users in 1990 to over 3 billion in 2008. Growth is particularly impressive in developing economies. With only 1 billion bank accounts worldwide and close to 4 billion mobile phone subscribers, both mobile network operators and financial institutions recognize the value proposition in offering mobile financial services. Alternet is currently focused on providing its service offerings to the Latin American marketplace.
