August 29, 2008 - asknet AG, one of the
leading providers of outsourcing solutions for global software 
distribution via the Internet (Electronic Software Distribution -

Inc., San Francisco.
Aston Fallen, former Managing Director of data encryption specialist 
Steganos, will join asknet in the role of President of asknet, Inc. 
on September 1, 2008. Aston Fallen will be responsible for the 
world-wide sales activities of asknet´s ESD solutions. The US market 
which accounted for almost 28% of sales in the first half of 2008 is 
the company´s second largest sales region after Germany and the most 
important market for ESD solutions world-wide.

forward to be working for a technology leader in a market with a very
promising future", says Aston Fallen. asknet´s CEO Gerald Prior adds:
