MediaZone Unveils Peer-to-Peer Streaming Platform, Live Wimbledon Coverage; Leading Global Online Broadcaster Sees Continued Momentum With New Media Delivery Platform Launch and Several New Broadband Broadcast Channels.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- MediaZone today announced several developments that highlight its strong momentum in the first half of 2006 and firmly position the company as a leader in the fast growing market for broadband sports and entertainment video services. Among the noteworthy developments are the release of one of the industry's first secure peer-to-peer video streaming platforms and the availability of Wimbledon LIVE, an offering that provides live and on-demand video coverage of the 2006 Wimbledon Championships.

MediaZone is a leading global online broadcaster specializing in sports, entertainment and international programming. The company provides consumers a flexible way to view highly personalized and in-depth coverage of their favorite content, while offering turnkey solutions for content owners to reach an aggregated, highly qualified target audience and realize new revenue streams through Internet distribution.

Peer-to-Peer Streaming Platform Transforms Industry Economics

With the beta launch of its secure peer-to-peer streaming platform, MediaZone helps digital media companies overcome the high cost of bandwidth, which is the single largest barrier to scalability and profitability in online broadcasting. Through the platform, content streams are securely shared across multiple users accessing content via a downloadable client. Broadcasters no longer incur additional bandwidth costs to deliver service to every new user. Instead, as demand for content increases and new users are added, the ability to scale increases. The new platform allows content owners to realize substantial cost savings, particularly for popular live streaming events, and enables content owners and distributors to distribute video and audio content in a new way by developing Internet-only linear channels. The beta launch of the service can be found at http://www.MediaZone.com/p2p/index.jsp.

First-of-its-Kind Tennis Tournament Online: Wimbledon LIVE

MediaZone also recently announced an exclusive partnership with The All England Lawn Tennis Club whereby the company will serve as the Worldwide Broadband Partner to the Wimbledon Championships, providing live and on-demand broadband coverage of the entire event. The new service, Wimbledon LIVE, is available globally at http://Wimbledon.org/live and will include live streaming broadcasts of over 250 matches from up to 9 concurrent courts. In the United States, MediaZone also partners with NBC Sports, Wimbledon's broadcast home in the U.S., to bring unprecedented depth of coverage on-air and online to American fans.

Wimbledon LIVE is the latest in a series of marquee international sporting events and cultural and entertainment programming available for live and/or on-demand viewing at MediaZone.com. Tennis fans also can watch comprehensive coverage of over 500 global tennis matches including the ATP International series and the WTA Tour live and on-demand in 2006 via MediaZone's recently announced Tennis on the Net channel. Other recent and upcoming events include Copa Libertadores, Latin America's most prestigious soccer tournament through a partnership with Fox Sports, and the 2006 FIM Motocross World Championship. MediaZone continues to build on its leadership in rugby, having signed a 5-year deal to serve as the exclusive broadband broadcaster of the South African, New Zealand and Australian Rugby Unions (SANZAR), offering rugby fans around the world their first opportunity to watch the southern hemisphere's best rugby online.

MediaZone also recently entered into an agreement with AOL whereby it serves as a strategic partner and provider of all rich media content for http://AOL.com/Chinese which offers news, sports and entertainment, including exclusive programs and event webcasts from China.

"MediaZone has proved successful at delivering unique and compelling offerings that meet the distinct needs of sporting and entertainment enthusiasts around the world," said Michelle Wu, MediaZone's CEO. "With the introduction of our peer-to-peer delivery platform and launch of Wimbledon LIVE, we are building on this success and further delivering on our mission to offer the broadest range of broadband video content that is in high demand amongst large communities around the world, while providing the global reach, technology expertise and programming experience to help content owners generate maximum revenues from their assets."

"Wimbledon's philosophy has always been to preserve the heritage and tradition of the tournament, while embracing new innovations to ensure we offer the very best experience to tennis fans worldwide," said Jeff Lucas, IT director at The All England Lawn Tennis Club. "We explored a number of options when evaluating how to best extend Wimbledon to audiences around the world via the Internet and MediaZone stood out for its packaging and distribution competencies and experience working with other leading sporting events organizations. We look forward to working together with MediaZone to make this first-of-its-kind initiative a success."
