(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 30, 2002 ) ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. 30, 2002: - N2 Broadband, the leading provider of scalable, open-standards technologies for offering on-demand services, announced today that Time Warner Cable's New York City Division, a unit of AOL Time Warner (NYSE: AOL), is using N2 Broadband's N2 NetworkT to manage its video-on-demand (VOD) service. TWC's New York City division is the largest cable system in the U.S., serving 1.2 million homes. Half of Time Warner's 500,000 New York-area digital subscribers will be VOD-enabled over the next few weeks, with the balance online by year's end.

"It's a great accomplishment for us to have been an integral part of the largest VOD deployment in the U.S.," said Reggie Bradford, CEO and president of N2 Broadband. "Our N2 Network provides cable operators with an open standards-based solution that allows cable operators to launch VOD faster than ever possible, while also giving them the flexibility to work with a variety of VOD partners to offer the best on-demand service to their subscribers."

N2 Broadband is providing TWC's NYC Division with a complete delivery management, back-office and usage reporting system. Known as the N2 Network, this comprehensive system is providing the following functions for Time Warner Cable:
" securely distributing media assets from content providers to multiple headend locations;
" streamlining and automating the process of receiving, prioritizing and propagating on-demand content; and
" providing a standard interface to cable billing systems, an open reporting platform, and a generic web-based metadata editor so Time Warner Cable NYC can remotely manage all content media assets in the system and easily introduce new services.

In addition, N2 Broadband directly connects to iN DEMAND to supply Time Warner Cable NYC with hundreds of major motion pictures. Digital subscribers can pause, fast forward, and rewind all of the programming and watch it at their convenience, rather than at a scheduled time.
