ICH Intercable Ich Inc.

Intercable ICH inc. (Intercable) (TSX VENTURE:ICH) announces today that it has
received a conditional secured bridge loan of EUR 1 million and that a decision
was rendered by the Autorite de regulation des Communications et des Postes
("ARCEP") regarding the conflict with France Telecom.


Conditional bridge loan

On December 31, 2008, Mauritius Commercial Bank Ltd, a bank affiliated to MCB
Equity Fund, a shareholder and insider of Intercable, has granted a new
conditional fully secured bridge loan of EUR 1 million ($ 1.6 million) maturing
on February 28, 2009 enabling the Company to continue its operations during the
month of January 2009 and to carry on discussions with certain groups of
investors for the purpose of raising mid or long term financing. The bridge loan
carries interest at 3-month LIBOR plus a margin of 7% and is guaranteed first
rank by the overall assets of Intercable as well as corporate guarantees from
MCB Equity Fund and Commercial Holding Company Ltd, two shareholders and
insiders of Intercable. An initial disbursement of EUR 265,000 ($ 424,000) on
the bridge loan was made on January 13, 2009. The disbursements on the residual
balance of the bridge loan will be made gradually and will be subject to a
number of conditions, including the confirmation of the participation of third
parties in a mid or long term financing, the execution of the documentation
pertaining to the corporate guarantees of MCB Equity Fund and Commercial Holding
Company Ltd, the execution of an hypothec pledging certain assets of the
Company, the absence of adverse material changes with regards to the Company's
operations as well as other usual conditions for this type of loan. There is no
assurance that Intercable will receive a mid or long term financing offer in a
timely manner enabling it to continue its operations.


This bridge loan is in addition to the EUR 3 million loan already provided by
Mauritius Commercial Bank Ltd in August 2008 and which has been entirely drawn
as of December 31, 2008.


The bridge loan constitutes a "related party transaction" for the Company for
the purpose of Regulation 61-101 respecting protection of minority security
holders in special transactions    (the "regulation 61-101"), requiring the
Company to obtain a formal valuation and the approval of the minority security
holders on the bridge loan, unless it is exempted from these requirements.


The Company enjoys an exemption from the formal valuation and minority holders
approval requirements in connection with the conclusion of the bridge loan,
since the Company's board of directors, acting in good faith, determines, and
all independent directors of the Company, acting in good faith, determine that
the following conditions are satisfied: the Company is in financial difficulty,
the bridge loan is designed to improve the financial position of the Company and
the conditions of the bridge loan are reasonable given the situation of the
Company. Ziyad Bundhun, representative of MCB Equity Fund Ltd on the Company's
board of directors, abstained from voting on the question of the approval of the
bridge loan.


New development on the conflict between Intercable and France Telecom.

On August 28, 2008, Intercable asked the Autorite de Regulation des
Communications Electroniques et des Postes (ARCEP), the regulatory authority in
the telecommunication sector, to take hold of the dispute resolution process
with France Telecom. In particular, Intercable asked ARCEP to enjoin France
Telecom to honour, on the one hand, its contractual obligations and to propose,
on the other hand, access to its infrastructure under non-discriminatory and
reasonable technical and financial conditions. On December 11, 2008, ARCEP
rendered its decision pursuant to which the requests made by Intercable were
rejected mainly as a result of procedural matters. However, ARCEP specified in
its decision that Intercable could, if it makes a formal request, benefit, for
the segments of its deployment in optical fibre, from the access to France
Telecom's civil engineering infrastructure pursuant to the terms and conditions
set forth in a standard offer resulting from a prior ARCEP decision dated July
24, 2008. Consequently, Intercable intends to negotiate in a timely manner the
technical and financial conditions of an agreement permitting to access France
Telecom's infrastructure in order to facilitate the Company's network deployment
in the underground areas.


Notwithstanding the above, Intercable wishes to remind that there are two other
ongoing judicial procedures relating to the conflict with France Telecom.
Firstly, under the supervision of the Paris Commercial High Court, an expert was
mandated to conduct an inventory of some 39 km of cables deployed by Intercable
in the Communes of Port and Possession and to determine whether those
underground deployments were performed according to accepted engineering
practices. The expert report will be released on March 15, 2009 at the latest.
Lastly, France Telecom lodged an appeal before the Court of Appeal of
Saint-Denis of La Reunion regarding a decision made by the Commercial High Court
of Saint-Denis pursuant to which the court declared having no jurisdiction to
hear the case opposing Intercable to France Telecom. The hearing before the
Court of Appeal had been scheduled to February 16, 2009, but France Telecom
asked for a postponement until after the expert report is released.


In the interim of being able to access France Telecom's engineering
infrastructure and subject to the conditional disbursements of the bridge loan,
Intercable intends to continue, albeit at a slow pace until the closing of an
eventual mid or long term financing, the deployment of its network in the
overhead areas of La Reunion. As of December 31, 2008, Intercable had deployed
some 150 km of network reaching a potential of approximately 12,000 homes in the
Port, Possession and Saint-Paul communes. Of this number, the Company had
deployed more than 2,500 connectable homes and provided television, internet and
telephony services to 507 customers, of which 23% had subscribed to three
services and 35% to two services. At that date, the number of television,
internet or telephony service units stood at 918, representing an average of 1.8
service unit per customer.
