EWAN Launches First-to-Market IPtv Global Service & Begins Broadcasting Program Content April 19th at San Diego IPtv Show


SANTA ANA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- March 27, 2006 -- eWAN1, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EWAN), announced today that it will launch its Global Internet television service in 30 days and begin broadcasting on April 19, 2006 during the, "IPTV & Beyond" show at the Marriott Del Mar, San Diego, CA, which eWAN is co-sponsoring. In front of an audience of the world's leading telecommunications companies, including Motorola (NYSE:MOT), Alcatel, Bell Canada, Siemens (NYSE:SI), and a host of others, eWAN will debut its first-to-market IPtv network by demonstrating and deploying its multiple channels of "On Demand" content delivered to subscriber's televisions through DSL or any other broadband Internet connection.



Through its Clearview Communications subsidiary, one of the U.S.'s original cable broadcasters, eWAN has access to 175 channels of entertainment, news, sports, and every other category of content now being telecast by Direct TV (NYSE:DTV), EchoStar's Dish Network (NASDAQ:DISH), Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA), Time Warner , Cablevision and other competitors. eWAN also believes that, through its proprietary DMC set-top box, it is the first company with the ability to deliver Internet TV with the clarity of high definition to its subscriber's TV sets, negating the need to purchase an actual High Definition TV set and screen.

"We believe that Global IPtv is the final key component in transforming the living room television screen into an all-in-one utility for entertainment and communication and our IPtv service is light-years ahead of anything on the market," said Scott Kettle, eWAN's President. "In addition, our DMC set-top box, designed and manufactured by our own CoCom subsidiary, is one of the first wireless set-top boxes on the market and features a keyboard that enables our subscribers to use their TV sets as computers to surf the Internet, process their emails, manage photos and other media and perform all other functions they currently do with their PC's."


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.
