EWAN Files Patent to Protect Proprietary Technology in Advance of Broadcasting Its First-to-Market IPTV Global ProgrammingSANTA ANA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- April 17, 2006 -- EWAN 1 Inc. (Pink Sheets:EWAN) has filed an application with the U.S. Patent Office to protect its proprietary technology to its unique Triple Play DMC set-top box. EWAN will launch their Global Internet television service over the EWAN Network, at the IPTV show, "IPTV & Beyond," April 19, 2006, at the Marriott Del Mar, San Diego, CA. EWAN retained an intellectual rights specialist to submit the appropriate filing, which covers the computerized engineering developed by EWAN's wholly-owned subsidiary, CoCom. Scott Kettle, EWAN's President, observed: "Our DMC set-top box is one of the first wireless set-top boxes on the market, with features unmatched by any of our potential competitors. For instance, EWAN believes that it is the first company with the ability to deliver Internet TV with the clarity of high definition to our subscriber's TV sets, negating the need to purchase an actual High Definition TV set and screen. We will begin delivering multiple channels of "On Demand" content delivered to our subscribers via any DSL or broadband connection beginning April 19th, 2006, and, as far as we know, we will be first-to-market, and the only global Internet TV network." Direct Connect, a wholly owned EWAN subsidiary, will provide traditional broadcast television, as well as local stations on an a la carte basis, allowing subscribers to pick and choose only those channels they are willing to pay for. EWAN's set-top box includes Internet, telephone service (VOIP), data and video capability, and subscribers will be joining a new, private, exclusive TV network at a cost of approximately one-third of that now charged by existing cable or satellite companies. Infonetics magazine reports that IPTV is set to skyrocket to 53.7 million subscribers and $44 billion in service revenue by 2009, and that the number of IPTV subscribers in North America will increase 12,985% between 2004 and 2009. According to IP Television Magazine - In the 1st quarter 2005, there were: 2.1 million IPTV users worldwide. For demonstration, email [email protected].
