The Children's Internet, Inc. Announces the Appointment of New President7 March 2006
The Children's Internet, Inc. (OTC BB: CITC), marketers of the product ranked by PC Magazine as Editors' Choice in
the category of "Kids' Browsers and Services," announced today that Bill
Arnold has accepted its offer to become President, effective immediately.
"We are delighted to have a man of Bill's skills, character and commitment.
He brings a history of achievement, having been President of three very
successful companies prior to joining The Children's Internet, Inc.," said
Ms. Sholeh Hamedani, CEO of The Children's Internet, Inc. "For the past 10
months he has served us as our Investor Relations consultant, but his
contributions and unbridled passion for the product have far exceeded those
normally defined by that task."
"I could not be more excited about joining the team at The Children's
Internet. We have the opportunity to truly make the world a better place,
as the product is clearly superior to anything available today," said Bill
Arnold. "And from an investor's point of view, we believe the business
model is well developed and should serve as the foundation for major
returns."
"We are on the verge of launching the product and want Bill's primary focus
to be on sales and marketing," added Ms. Hamedani. "He has managed sales
and marketing both in start-ups and in Fortune 500 companies, twice
managing sales organizations in excess of 100 people. His sales and sales
management experience includes national programs with companies such as
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Merrill Lynch and Discovercard, meaning he is
comfortable marketing and selling to senior level executives in large
organizations. Additionally, his general management experience and
financial background are a perfect complement as this management team moves
from a development stage company to an operating company."

"I have been working with The Children's Internet in an advisory role for
ten months, so I have had a unique opportunity to study this company and
its people. While acknowledging the issues of their being a small company,
I have never felt better about the upside in a business situation,"
continued Mr. Arnold. "Finally we are ready to take this product to the
market, and I look forward to a series of aggressive campaigns to put The
Children's Internet® in millions of homes across the U.S. and beyond. I
would not have accepted this position had I not had the time to truly
research the market and determine there is effectively nothing like this to
be found. All I see in the market is well-intentioned but stale advice and
blocking and filtering products that are nothing more than fun challenges
for today's tech-savvy youth to break. If these products truly worked there
would not be bills in Congressional committees, right this minute, trying
to fix the problem. In my view we should absolutely own this space."
