Hutchison Telecom Indonesia – Indonesia’s 3G Operator – Selects Memova Mobile from Critical Path

Memova Mobile to Power Mobile Email and Content Services for Indonesian Consumers

SAN FRANCISCO – November 6, 2006 — Critical Path, Inc. (OTC: CPTH), a leading provider of messaging software and services, today announced that Indonesia’s new 3G operator, PT Hutchison CP Telecommunications (‘Hutchison Telecom Indonesia’), is teaming up with Critical Path to deliver new mobile email and content services for consumers with Memova® Mobile. Hutchison Telecom Indonesia is a joint venture between Hong Kong-based Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited (‘Hutchison Telecom’) and the CP Group of Indonesia.

In an effort to generate data revenues, Hutchison Telecom Indonesia is looking to drive consumer adoption of mobile email, MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services) and other mobile data services as part of its initial service offering. Hutchison Telecom Indonesia has selected Critical Path’s Memova Mobile for its ability to provide new mobile email and multimedia content services that are highly personalized, affordable and easy to use.

”We believe Memova Mobile can enable us to quickly deliver to market the type of new services and features consumers are asking for,” said Suresh Reddy, Chief Marketing Officer, Hutchison Telecom Indonesia. “With its ease of use, simple set up and innovative consumer control capabilities, we expect that Memova Mobile will drive rapid adoption of consumer mobile email and content. We look forward to working with Critical Path to roll out these new services for our subscribers.”

With Memova Mobile, email from any standards-based email account (Yahoo!, Gmail, etc.), as well as popular consumer content, such as news, blogs, sports, music, photos and video, can be easily mobilized and pushed to mass-market mobile phones. The solution enables operators to get to market quickly with new services targeted at the large installed base of consumers who already have MMS-capable mobile phones.

In addition, Memova Mobile provides a simple, yet highly personalized, consumer experience. For example, consumers can easily discover and activate new services with simple text commands on the phone or through the operator’s Web site – there is no software to download or install. Consumers can also choose which email messages, news, blogs and other content they want to receive. Content feeds can be personalized according to the consumer’s interests, and users can easily allow or block email senders.

“We’re excited that Hutchison Telecom Indonesia has selected Memova Mobile to roll out new mobile email and content services for consumers,” said Donald Dew, Chief Technology Officer, Critical Path. “Our market research shows that consumers want mobile data services to be easy to use, affordable and personalized, and Memova Mobile was developed with these needs in mind. We look forward to working with an innovative operator like Hutchison Telecom Indonesia to provide new services with these features.”
