NEW YORK, Dec. 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Network CN Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NWCN), a Chinese media and travel network company headquartered in Hong Kong, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Shanghai Quo Advertising Company has been contracted to operate 120 roadside LED advertising panels in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province. Under the 5- year agreement with the government entity holding authority over the project, Network CN plans to install 70 of the panels in 2008 and the remainder in 2009.

Changsha, with a population of more than 6 million, is a transportation hub and one of China's top 20 most economically advanced cities. Its GDP, above the national average, has grown at an average of 14% per year from 2001- 2005. The city has attracted a tremendous amount of foreign investment, with nearly $1 billion worth of foreign direct investment recorded in 2005, mainly in high technology, manufacturing, food production and services.

In recent years, Changsha has also become an important creative center for television and entertainment, with its many TV stations producing some of the most popular programs in China, including 'Super Girl,' an all-female Chinese version of the UK's 'Pop Idol' or 'American Idol' in the U.S., ranking as the most-watched program ever to air on Chinese TV.

'Under this agreement, which we negotiated directly without a joint venture partner, our subsidiary Quo will directly hold the media rights for LED panels comprising the Changsha project, so we will retain all of the revenues and profits and expect to achieve a positive return on our investment within three to four years, ' commented Godfrey Hui, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. 'We are pleased to further strengthen the nationwide reach of our advertising network and our corporate growth prospects by entering into this agreement. '
