The Company
The Birth of InterNetworking Big Planet, a Provo, Utah-based InterNetworking Company, is an innovative provider of communications and technology Products and Services for individuals and small businesses. InterNetworking is the next revolution in network marketing, combining the power of one-to-one relationships with the emerging global Internet Opportunity to improve the way we Learn, Communicate, Work, Shop and Play. High Tech Requires High Touch Big Planet offers all of its services through a networking model. Why? Because this is the only way to finally get innovative, high tech products into the mass consumer markets — the people you know — your friends, your neighbors, your relatives — who wouldn’t otherwise take advantage of new products and services, unless someone like you personally shows them how. ―The average Internet shopper tells 12 family members, friends, relatives, co-workers and others about their Internet shopping experiences, the studies found, while the average U.S. adult tells 8.6 other people about their favorite movie and 6.1 other people about their favorite restaurant. ‗The word-of-mouth statistics on Internet shopping are among the highest we‘ve ever seen for any type of product or service,‘ said James Ware, vice president of research for consulting firm The Concours Group.‖ 05/99 - InternetNews.com - Surveys Find Word-of-Mouth Fueling E-Commerce Management Team Big Planet’s management team is top notch. Richard King, president of Big Planet, helped build Novel into a multi-billion dollar computer software networking giant. Now, he’s put together a world-class team of industry professionals who are fine-tuning the systems that support Big Planet Representatives to realize an extraordinary financial opportunity. Strategic Alliances Big Planet has created strategic relationships with the leading technology companies in the Internet space today. Visit www.bigplanet.com under ABOUT US for a list. Why would these companies align themselves with Big Planet? They see an incredible marketing channel that will finally be able to bring technology into the home where people use it, instead of having it just fly over the roof out of reach. It’s the high touch approach of InterNetworking. Conceived years ago by the founders of NSE, Big Planet’s birth into the digital world last year marked the beginning of what many analysts project would be one of the largest direct selling ―InterNetworking‖ Companies in the world.

2. The Mechanics of Wealth
Huge Expanding Markets Doesn’t it make sense to have your financial future linked to fast growth markets? Is the Internet a fast growth market? Is E-Commerce a fast growth market? Forrester Research increased its estimates on Internet Commerce to $3.2 trillion by the year 2003, up 10 times from its previous estimate of $327 billion. This is an industry that recorded $1 billion in sales in 1996, and $8 billion in 1997. In other words, E-commerce will be growing by 30,000% in the next 5 years. This is the biggest business trend in history! – Catching rising markets creates wealth! Unique, Consumable Products and Services When you are making things people can get anywhere, you compete against price and convenience. When you market unique, products and services, people come to you! Doesn’t it make sense to sell the customer just once and get residual payments over and over again? Timing is everything Have you ever thought about being in the right place at the right time? Will you ever see the Internet and E-Commerce in their embryonic stage again? Can you imagine a faster growing industry than technology?
3. The Device, The Connection and The Destination
Big Planet’s Goal: Build a large subscriber base with multiple connections into the home and you can earn a residual or recurring income by participating in the process. Using Big Planet’s model of meeting the Device, Connection and Destination needs for all customers we’re developing a one-stop shopping company that rides all three of these massive consumer trends by creating ―the premiere online community.‖ The Big Planet concept has had quite an effect on the industry as new network marketing companies are starting to see our vision and attempting to duplicate what we saw more than two years ago. However, none of them have the total package we have: The Device: To drive the Device element of our strategy Big Planet offered the iPhone – a web appliance with fully integrated telephone functionality that includes a full-size keyboard and a built-in touch screen for accessing the Internet. Imagine accessing the web and checking your email from your telephone by simply touching the screen. Haven proven ourselves over the past two years by creating the world’s largest webphone community of 60,000 plus users, some of the top companies in the Internet

arena are now asking us to market Internet access devices. These devices include set-top appliances, wireless phones and PDA’s, and Internet thin-clients. ―The functional boundaries defining the dominant communication tools of our time -the PC, TV and telephone -- are disappearing. Today, PCs stream video, TVs provide high-speed access to the Web and wireless telephones conduct on-line transactions. In a word, the technologies are converging. Convergence, as the trend is known, refers to the blending of the capabilities of these technologies to create a new generation of access portals to the Internet and interactive content. As these technologies converge, it will transform the world of interactive communication, and with it the world of marketing communications.‖ – By J.G. Sandom President, Rapp Digital 03/2000 The Connection: We’ve heard it quoted that every two seconds someone new gets connected to the Internet. ―There‘s no turning back. Once a novelty, the Internet is now transforming how Americans live, think, talk and love; how we go to school, make money, see the doctor and elect presidents. This isn‘t just about the future—it‘s about the here and now. ― – 09/20/99 - Newsweek: THE NEW WIRED WORLD The Dawn of E-Life As one of the largest Internet Services Providers in the United States, with more than 6100 local dial-up numbers, we make it easy for anyone to get connected.
