IRVINE, Calif., May 26 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ –

Hop-on.com, Inc. (OTC: HPNN) today announced that it has formed Hop-on
Mobile India Private Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of India,
to facilitate the sale and distribution of its CDMA and GSM handsets to
customers in India. By having a local presence, Hop-on will be working closely
with local distributors that fulfill the handset needs of Indian carriers.
Hop-on plans to have its products manufactured overseas and shipped in either
fully assembled or in semi-knocked down (SKD) form to its Indian company. With
the anticipated purchase volumes by Indian customers, wholesale prices are
estimated under $55 (USD) for a single-mode CDMA phone and under $40 (USD) for
a dual-band GSM phone.

According to CDMA Development Group (CDG), the CDMA subscriber base in
India has increased more than 500 percent to 14 million users between December
2002 and 2004. Similarly, the GSM market is expected to experience rapid growth
in India in the coming years. According to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers
Pvt. Ltd., India’s cellular subscribers base currently stands at approximately
41 million users and is expected to reach 200 million users by 2007.

Dan Gannon, Chief Executive Officer of Hop-on, commented, "Our strategy of
having a local presence in key markets initially began in Mexico, where we were
able to generate positive sales results as a result of having the right product
for the market coupled with building brand awareness with consumers. By
replicating these efforts in India, we will have a local presence in the
world’s second most populated country and one of the largest growth markets for
wireless phones. India has over 1 billion people and wireless subscribers
represent less than 20% of the population. As an emerging market, handset cost
is an important consideration for these carriers and based on our discussions
and meetings with many of these Indian carriers and distributors, we believe
that we have promising and sizeable opportunities in India that justify
establishing a local presence."
