                    KTS and O2 launch new mobile information

                      service for financial professionals


Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC (KTS) and O2, a leading provider of mobile
services to consumers and businesses in the UK, have today launched KTS
MarketTerminal with O2.

The new KTS MarketTerminal with O2 service provides mobile access to essential
international market data and news. It is delivered through O2's 'always on'
data connections via GPRS, 3G and WLAN, turning a subscriber's laptop into a
fully-live KTS MarketTerminal.

KTS and O2 are jointly marketing the new service, which, in an age when
financial professionals are working increasingly outside the office, allows them
to keep completely up-to-date with live international market information, access
the latest market news and receive instant price and news alerts.

Subscribers receive always on access to KTS MarketTerminal with O2, which is
available throughout the UK over O2's mobile data network. Included in the flat
rate £200-per-month (ex VAT) package are the O2 connectivity subscription and O2
3G/GPRS Data Card for laptop computers.

The new service is principally for financial professionals who need live
international stockmarket data, news and other essential financial information
when they are out of the office or away from their desktop.

Among the 15 Exchanges covered by KTS MarketTerminal with O2 are the London
Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, Euronext, Deutsche Boerse and
the Scandinavian exchanges, to name but some. News, data and analytics are
supplied by the premium names in financial information, including Interactive
Data, AFX News and Dow Jones Newswires.

Dr Marc Pinter-Krainer, Chief Executive of KTS PLC, said:

'Research shows that financial professionals are spending less time than ever at
their desks. The new KTS MarketTerminal with O2 mobile service enables our
clients to stay in touch with the markets while on the move. In a world where
information is power and quick decisions make the difference between profit and
loss, KTS and O2 are providing a mobile service that sets the standard in
flexibility, speed, resilience and user-friendliness.'

Target customers for KTS MarketTerminal with O2 are primarily City institutions.
Both companies' sales teams are marketing it to existing and potential clients.
Technical support is being provided by KTS.

With this new service, KTS and O2 are aiming to take a leadership position
providing business data across mobile networks, which independent experts
Strategy Analytics estimate will grow from $61 billion in 2004 to just over $189
billion by 2009.

Mark Imrie, Head of Products of O2, said:

'KTS MarketTerminal with O2 will change the way financial professionals work.
They will be able to stay informed and make crucial financial decisions when
away from their desks without compromising on quality or the speed of market
data and news. This new service fits perfectly with our strategy to strengthen 
our position as the leading provider of business services via mobile data 
connectivity.'

Dr Marc Pinter-Krainer concluded:

'We are delighted to be partnering with O2 in providing a new mobile service
that will make it far easier for financial professionals to keep in touch with
essential news and data, wherever they are. KTS MarketTerminal with O2 should
set a new standard in flexibility. It's all about staying informed, anytime,
anywhere.'
