NEW YORK, NEW YORK, August 17, 1998 – Globix Corporation (Nasdaq:

expertise and experience to the Globix media team. Over the
last four years, as pioneers in the field, they have produced some

technology capabilities and the expertise of Dan and Chris in the
live events field to provide corporate clients with distance learning
applications and to broadcast cutting edge music events for the entertainment
industry.
“The growth in demand for live streaming of audio and video over
the Web is extraordinary. These two pros have been on the forefront
of that explosive growth. We are extremely pleased to welcome them
to our team. The addition of the talents of Dan and Chris to our media
group and to the Globix Corporation enhances the total package
of Internet services we provide to the business customer,” Marc H.

and it offers tremendous growth opportunities. Globix , with
all its Internet expertise, is an ideal match for Chris and myself,
the perfect place to utilize our experience and to reach this rapidly
growing, yet underserved market.”
