EXHIBIT 99.1 YP.NET TERMINATES INTERNET ACCESS AGREEMENT WITH SIMPLE.NET Mesa, Arizona - (Business Wire) March 3, 2004 YP.Net, Inc., (OTC BB: YPNT) a leading provider of Internet yellow pages and related services is terminating its contract with Simple.Net, its Internet Service Provider. Simple.Net is owned by DeVal Johnson, a YP.Net director, subsidiary officer and corporate secretary. This contract termination reflects the Company's ongoing effort to minimize related party transactions and provide better and lower cost services to its customers. The move reflects YP.Net's rapidly growing customer base and allows the company to offer new packages of services to its customers, according to YP.Net CEO Angelo Tullo. "At the time we entered into the agreement with Simple.Net we didn't have enough dial-up customers to avoid a minimum access charge from backbone providers," Tullo said in making the announcement. "As our customer base has grown, we've become big enough to economically enter into our own wholesale contract with the Internet service providers that are now providing dial-up service to YP.Net customers." In addition, Tullo explained, the new arrangement allows YP.Net to offer a bundle of services at a lower price, that includes its Internet Dial-Up Package(TM) as well as the Internet Advertising Package(TM) for $34.95 a month in certain areas. The current price for the IAP package alone is $29.95 per month. According to Tullo, "the real import of the separation agreement is that it is one more sign of the growing business and financial strength of YP.Net. When we acquired Telco Billing in 1999 we entered into several relationships with directors and stockholders that were beneficial at the time. However, now we have outgrown them. We have the customer base, the revenues and the growth to replace those arrangements with ones more appropriate to our size and revenues today and in the future." ABOUT YP.NET, INC.
