UTOPIA ENTERS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH WHITE PINE SOFTWARE

Companies Combine Strategic Consulting and Internet Technology to Bring
Video Conferencing to the Net

WALTHAM, Mass., May 6, 1996 -- Utopia Inc., a leading national Internet
consulting, design and technology firm, today announced that it has
entered into a strategic relationship with White Pine Software, Inc., a
leading Nashua, NH-based provider of Windows and Macintosh desktop
video-conferencing software for the Internet.

The partnership between Utopia and White Pine is threefold. Utopia hosts
and maintains the public reflector for White Pine's public FTP site; the
companies are working closely together to demonstrate the broad viability
of the Internet as an ideal video-conferencing medium, through
collaborative "cybercasts"; and Utopia has been named a preferred vendor
and authorized systems integrator for White Pine Software.

As an integral part of their ongoing relationship, Utopia works closely
with White Pine to host "cybercast" video conferencing events. Most
recently, the companies collaborated on the first live, real estate
auction over the Internet (April 27). For this event, Utopia hosted and
provided the technical backbone, including a live satellite video uplink
directly to the server, for the Web site of a live auction of an
oceanfront mansion in Delaware. White Pine's Enhanced CU-SeeMe' technology
enabled live video coverage of the event to the site, including a secure
two-way link for the actual bidders, and a public, view-only facility for
the entire Internet audience to observe the event.

"Utopia's expertise in strategic consulting, project planning and Web site
design has been extremely beneficial to our newly formed CU-SeeMe Services
organization, supporting our rapidly expanding user base, particularly
amongst early adopters within corporate Intranets," said Howard Berke, CEO
and President of White Pine. "We are very pleased to have the opportunity
for White Pine to partner with Utopia, a pioneering service/consultancy
and technology provider within the burgeoning Internet industry."

In addition to their collaborative "cybercast" events, Utopia has been
named a preferred vendor and authorized systems integrator/reseller for
White Pine software. As part of this agreement, Utopia will resell White
Pine's Enhanced CU-SeeMe software to companies in Utopia's core
industries: financial services, healthcare, high-technology, publishing
and entertainment.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with a leading Internet technology
provider such as White Pine," said David Solomont, president and CEO of
Utopia. "Their Enhanced CU-SeeMe technology is an example of truly
cutting-edge online technology, and we are committed to help drive these
emerging technologies and deliver a new level of functionality to our
expansive client base."
