Toronto and London, 28th August 2007 – Tiscali UK, the broadband telecom and media company, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with JumpTV (AIM, TSX: JTV), a leader in broadcasting international television and sports over the Internet.  Tiscali will broadcast JumpTV’s library of live, international television on the Tiscali UK portal ( www.tiscali.co.uk ).

Through the partnership, JumpTV has deployed its proprietary video players--called "Jumpers"--on the Tiscali UK portal.  Found within the broadband entertainment section of the site, the television content is listed by region, language and country. 

JumpTV distributes content from popular TV channels in Pakistan, India, Jamaica, Bangladesh, Lebanon and more than 70 other countries around the world. Tiscali users in the UK will be able to subscribe to any of the nearly 300 individual JumpTV television channels or packages of country-/region-specific channels on a monthly subscription basis. Subscription revenues will be shared by JumpTV and Tiscali UK.

“At Tiscali, we understand how important video content is to our users, as the entertainment section is one of the most popular in our extensive portal.  By partnering with JumpTV and gaining access to one of the largest libraries of global television, we have expanded our Internet television offering. This is an exciting venture and we are looking forward to working with JumpTV,” said Alex Hole, head of online at Tiscali UK.

Mike JB John Baptiste, head of global distribution for JumpTV added, “Two-thirds of the UK's population increase between 2001 and 2004 was due to immigration. As the population continues to change, we strive to provide our partners with the best content for their audience.”& amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; /p>
