The terminal will allow consumers to place both local and long distance calls through the voice-over-IP capability of the Internet.
The terminals come equipped with a cutting edge bill acceptor and credit card reader and are covered by a heavy gauge steel frame. They are available in a variety of models including wall mounted units and free standing walk-up booths, adaptable to any type of location.

The attractiveness of Internet terminals in the market today is due to the over 500 million internet users worldwide and the use of e-mail as primary communications device of online users is as natural as a quick phone call was only a few years ago.
According to Electronic Messaging Associations, personal communications is the fastest growing appli-cations on the Internet. U.S. e-mail traffic is growing at 22% per year and 84% of users rated e-mail astheir most indispensible Internet application.
Like payphones, the key to the Internet terminal business is not necessarily the technology but rather inexpensive, easy access technology. Zentith Development’s competitive advantage is in being first with a high quality user friendly terminal that out performs all others with state-of-the-art technology, generating
multiple income streams for the proprietor and owner.
Interactive Network
The most compelling advantage of Zenith Development’s units, setting it apart from the competition, is the interactivity of its network, which provides many dominant
attributes: A single network links all terminals to a central server, providing unequaled monitoring and tracking capabilities.
The interactive feature that provides the advantage of 2-way communication.
These interactive advantages provide several key benefits:
Tracking of user behavior and page views by terminal, a feature which is unprecedented in the market of Internet terminals.
The flexibility to vary content and advertising by terminal on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
The ability to monitor and control the terminals from a central location.
Bi-lingual software enabling user to choose language of choice before starting session.
Untapped Market
The core market for web-enabled public Internet terminals is largely untapped, as it represents an
emerging market. Besides the fact that research projects over 400,000 terminals in service by 2007, there
are two factors which confirm that the timing is ripe for deployment First, other companies, such as
AT&T, are just beginning to enter the market; and second, location partners have confirmed their desire
and need for terminals at their locations.
Strategic Objectives
Zenith Development plans to position itself to capture a leading share of the market for public terminals offering access to e-mail and the Internet.
The overall strategic focus of Zenith Development is to: Recruit investor/owners throughout the world to participate in operating terminals as a
profitable business in their assigned areas. Develop strategic partnerships through third party companies for selective high-profile
locations which generate quality user traffic that is attractive to advertisers and sponsors.
Target the initial deployment wave of up to 3000 terminals across four different
location venues: travel and lodging, transportation, retail and specialty coffee shops. The results
of this first wave will allow the Company to direct its subsequent deployment to locations which provide a higher yield.
Expand the network to over 5000 terminals with sales of over $100 million per annum by capturing national corporate sponsors, and establish a solid monthly income to investors.
Ensure the highest quality in user satisfaction of its web-enabled public access Internet
terminals. In order to accommodate these identified needs, on-going user behavior will be tracked at all times throughout the interactive network.
