Metropolis Technology Corp. Announces Subsidiary CyberGlobe Has Entered Into a Memorandum of Understanding With SURPOST to Create a Network of City Portals in Suriname
PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 2, 2006 -- Metropolis Technologies
Corp. (OTC: MTPT) announced today that its subsidiary, CyberGlobe
International Holdings AVV Limited, has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with SURPOST (the Postal Agency in Suriname) for the joint
development of an interconnected city portal network.
Michael Smith, President, stated, "This quasi private/public sector
initiative will yield enormous benefits to the citizens of Suriname.
SURPOST (a Crown Corporation) will initially launch the first city portal
in the capital city, Paramaribo. The goal of the joint venture is to
establish a portal in every market that SURPOST presently serves.
"SURPOST chose to work with the CyberGlobe and its technology because of
its ease of use, and self management capabilities. This portal will deliver
real-time information about government services, tourism and cultural
information to its local client base, and its growing visitor base, with
particular emphasis on ecotourism.
"The fact that a Crown Corporation is utilizing our software is yet another
testimony that both the public and private sectors are keenly interested in
creating interconnected electronic communities. We are extremely excited
about the possibilities that this joint venture will create. These
electronic communities provide a way of sharing information about Suriname
with its citizens, expatriate community and the world at large. CyberGlobe
and SURPOST will share revenues on a transaction basis for all joint
venture activities.
"eCommerce transactions are a way of life in the G-8 countries, often
developing countries like Suriname do not have a way of joining the
eCommerce revolution. The CyberGlobe business model allows all
organizations large and small to sell their goods and services online.
SURPOST provides both international wire transfer services, and internet
café's throughout the region, and the combination of CyberGlobe's software
and SURPOST's infrastructure is a very important strategic relationship."
