The price will be some where between $1000 to $1200 and it will be sold
through higher end audio stores like Audio King aka Ultimate Electronics.
They have just started production so it will not be on the market for awhile
yet.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/09/2003 -- NBS Radio Corporation
announced today the release of the Global Access Radio, the first tabletop
radio able to access international Shortwave radio via Internet streaming
audio.

The Global Access Radio is the first stand-alone device that lets
listeners
tune into radio stations via Internet broadcasts around the world. Until
now, people who wanted to listen to broadcasts outside the limited reach
of
AM/FM radios were limited to Shortwave radios or computer-connected
systems.
The Global Access Radio removes those barriers and puts literally hundreds
of worldwide Shortwave and Internet-based stations -- from news, talk
shows,
and sports broadcasts, to music -- at the touch of a button.

"The Global Access Radio represents a unique breakthrough in radio
technology, providing the variety and breadth of Internet radio with the
ease of use of a standard radio format," said Walter Fields, President of
NBS Radio Corporation.

The Global Access Radio has the familiar controls of a traditional radio:
tuning, volume, favorite-channel preset buttons, headphone jack, as well
as
high-quality, self-contained stereo speakers. It also provides a full text
display that makes it easy to select programs and setup personal
preferences. The Global Access Radio features an internal station database
that is automatically updated.

With patents and copyrights pending, the Global Access Radio uses computer
technology for audio stream management. Any level of Internet connectivity
is supported -- by standard telephone line, Ethernet or Wi-Fi standard
IEEE802.11. Users need only an Internet service provider (ISP).

NBS Radio Corporation is a division of NBS Cables, Inc., a world leader in
high-end audio products. Founded in 1989, NBS Cables is a privately held
company headquartered in Minnesota.
