These players can join WarBirds for only $9.95 and play for unlimited time in the Air Combat Arenas in WarBirds. These players may also participate in any other WarBirds arenas for 5 hours per month.

Simon and Schuster Interactive is expected to ship the retail version of this product by September. These new players will receive two free online months and many are expected to become regular paying IENT Subscription players.

These Internet simulation products, accepted by a major value priced publisher, are expected to place over 100,000 units on retail shelves for the fall. The sale of these retail units is expected to add a significant number of paying online subscribers to IENT revenue base. IENT expects to expand its revenue base overseas, and is currently in negotiations with a major European company for the licensing and marketing of WarBirds in Europe. This company, both a large ISP and owner of an Internet gaming magazine, has committed to host and market WarBirds and all of IENT's subscription based games. This company will pay an advance and royalties to IENT, increasing both IENT revenue and player bases. Similar discussions are underway for the Asian continent.
