 Agreement with BT Broadcast Services to offer a turn-key Mobile Video solution
                   to broadcasters and mobile phone operators


BT Broadcast Services (BTBS) and Forbidden Technologies plc (Forbidden) have
reached an agreement to trial a new generation of video streaming services to
mobile phone users over existing GPRS and 3G networks.

BT Broadcast Services routes the majority of the UK's broadcast media content
through the BT Tower, and has the capability to take feeds of content and
transcode to various formats including Forbidden's. Using the BTBS solution, any
content owner or broadcaster can offer streaming content to mobile phone
operators.

Greg Hirst, Business Development Director, Forbidden Technologies commented:

'We are very excited to be working with BT Broadcast Services to bring streaming
video to mobile users. Our new generation compression and playback technology
will allow mobile operators to offer television-like video over their existing
GPRS networks and attract an audience which will grow into the enhanced services
that can be offered by 3G'.
