     Re:  WorldQuest Networks, Inc.

Gentlemen:

     We are acting as counsel for WorldQuest Networks, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the filing under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of a Form SB-2 Registration Statement (the
"462(b) Registration Statement") for the Company filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Act
covering an additional 312,500 shares (the "Additional Shares") of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (including up to
37,500 shares subject to the underwriters' over-allotment option). The 462(b)
Registration Statement to be used for the offer and sale of the Additional
Shares is filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed public offering
described in the Form SB-2 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-93019)
filed with the SEC on December 17, 1999, as amended, which was declared
effective by the SEC on February 4, 2000.

     We have examined and are familiar with the originals or authenticated
copies of all corporate or other documents, records and instruments that we have
deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed
below.

     We have assumed that all signatures on all documents presented to us are
genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are accurate and
complete, that all documents submitted to us as copies are true and correct
copies of the originals thereof, that all information submitted to us was
accurate and complete and that all persons executing and delivering originals or
copies of documents examined by us were competent to execute and deliver such
documents. In addition, we have assumed that the Additional Shares will not be
issued for consideration less than the par value thereof and that the form of
consideration to be received by the Company for the Additional Shares will be
lawful consideration under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     Based on the foregoing and having due regard for the legal considerations
we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Additional Shares, when issued
as described in the 462(b) Registration Statement, will be validly issued by the
Company, fully paid and nonassessable.

     This opinion is limited in all respects to the laws of the United States of
America and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     We advise you that members of this firm own options to acquire 10,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company.

     This opinion may be filed as an exhibit to the 462(b) Registration
Statement, and we further consent to all references to us in the 462(b)
Registration Statement, the prospectus constituting a part thereof and any
amendments thereto.

                                    Sincerely,

                                    /s/ Glast, Phillips & Murray, P.C.

                        CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

   We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption "Experts"
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 of
WorldQuest Networks, Inc., for the registration of 312,500 shares of its common
stock, and to the incorporation by reference therein of our report dated

WorldQuest Networks, Inc., included in the Form SB-2 Registration Statement
