COST SAVINGS OF BUNDLED SERVICES

New site empowers consumers to make smart decisions about the services that best fit their lifestyles

ATLANTA, Georgia and VERO BEACH, Florida — February 27, 2008 — Bridgevine, Inc. today unveiled Bridgevine.com — the trusted source for consumers looking to conveniently compare and shop for the services that shape their lives. From HDTV and VoIP to digital entertainment and home security, Bridgevine.com lets consumers choose individual services or create personalized bundles from the brand name providers they trust to save both time and money.

“Shopping for services can be a daunting task, with constantly changing prices, promotions and package offerings that leave consumers unsure as to whether they are getting the best deal, or even the service that best meets their needs,” said Vinny Olmstead, president and CEO of Bridgevine. “Bridgevine.com represents a new direction in how consumers can learn about, compare and shop for services.”

Bridgevine has partnered with such well-known service providers as Comcast, AT&T, D-Link, Time Warner, Verizon, DIRECTV, RealNetworks, Panasonic and GameFly to offer consumers the services they rely on from the brand names they trust. Unlike other “comparison” shopping websites, the Bridgevine experience is differentiated by a unified shopping cart, real-time pricing, order status updates and scheduling to deliver the best customer experience in the industry. Bridgevine’s deep integration with leading service providers from across the country enables the company to deliver the most accurate information on services, pricing and special promotions, adding even more value to the bundled services shopping experience.

Additionally, Bridgevine.com visitors can shop with the confidence that the deal they see is the deal they’ll get and Bridgevine customer support will be available through the entire process, from selection and ordering through shipping and installation. Bridgevine.com goes beyond simply repackaging and selling services to provide the information consumers need to choose the best services and supporting products. And because Bridgevine.com offers a wide variety of services, shoppers can quickly and easily select the services that fit their lifestyle from a single, user-friendly source.

Bridgevine.com benefits include:

• The total package — Bridgevine.com not only offers the best prices on services but also access to the products that help make those services part of day-to-day life. From HDTVs to gaming routers, Bridgevine.com offers the total package at a significant discount over buying the service and product separately.
• Unified shopping cart — Bridgevine.com shoppers can select individual services or create personalized bundles from multiple providers and still use a single shopping cart/checkout process. Unlike other sites, consumers can bundle exactly the services that fit their needs without being restricted to a single provider.
• Real-time information — Bridgevine.com has real-time access to its partners’ systems, ensuring shoppers view only the most up-to-date promotions, deals, pricing, etc. Competitors’ sites show static data, meaning confirmation of rates, promotions, etc. must be done manually, often after the order has been placed, which can mean consumers do not always receive the deal they signed up for.
• Unmatched customer service — Bridgevine.com’s live, highly qualified customer service professionals provide no-pressure product and service consulting, and the support continues through the entire process to provide a seamless experience all the way through delivery and installation.

New Solution from Jungo Lets Broadband Operators Deploy a Nationwide Hotspot Service for Subscribers

Jungo Ltd., a leading provider of broadband service solutions, today announced the release of NationZone™, a gateway middleware-based solution that can transform every home gateway into an operator hotspot while fully maintaining the security and bandwidth assurance for the home.

As opposed to other hotspot services that require the rollout of new hardware, Jungo's NationZone enables Operators to “turn on” the wireless network through a simple remote upgrade of the CPE firmware, thereby leveraging their existing CPE infrastructure, and launching a new service that creates a true nationwide “zone” which provides value to subscribers from day one.

"Operators need to acquire new subscribers and expand revenues by offering new services, while minimizing infrastructure and operational costs involved with the rollout of the new service", said Eran Rom, Jungo's CEO. “With Jungo's NationZone™, Operators can introduce new services, create more revenues and increase customer loyalty by utilizing the excess bandwidth and processing the power of millions of CPEs already deployed in the field".

Cleveland Clinic Collaborates with Google

Cleveland Clinic Pilots New Google Offering to Provide Patients Broader Access to Their Medical Records
Cleveland Clinic, a world-class academic medical institution and leader in health information technology, today announced a collaboration with Google, the world's leading Internet search company, to pilot features and services of a new health offering from Google. The Google offering, not yet publicly available, will assist providers like Cleveland Clinic to create a new kind of healthcare experience that puts the patient in charge of his or her own health information.

Today, more than 100,000 Cleveland Clinic patients benefit from Cleveland Clinic's electronic personal health record (PHR) system called eCleveland Clinic MyChart(R). The pilot, an invitation-only opportunity offered to a group of Cleveland Clinic PHR users, plans to enroll between 1,500 and 10,000 patients. It will test secure exchange of patient medical record data such as prescriptions, conditions and allergies between their Cleveland Clinic PHR to a secure Google profile in a live clinical delivery setting. The ultimate goal of this patient-centered and controlled model is to give patients the ability to interact with multiple physicians, healthcare service providers and pharmacies.

Most Analog Cellular to Fade Away Next Week

The biggest U.S. mobile operators, AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless, will close down their analog networks on Monday.

You may think of sunsets as something nice to look at, but if you have an older cell phone or a home alarm system, there's one coming up on Monday that may not be so pretty.

That day, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission will let mobile operators shut down their analog networks. It's called the "analog sunset" because those AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) networks, which were first deployed in the 1980s and brought cellular service to millions of Americans, will finally disappear behind the digital networks that serve almost all mobile phones in use today.

The biggest U.S. mobile operators, AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless, will close down their analog networks that day. At the same time, AT&T will turn off its first digital network, which uses TDMA (Time-Division Multiple Access) technology. (Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA don't have analog networks.) Calls to some small, rural mobile operators indicated that most of them plan to shut down AMPS, too.

With School Shootings on the Rise, Hundreds of Schools in 33 States Adopt 'First Alert' System to Protect Students

Could a text message alert have saved lives in DeKalb? Founder of First
Alert doesn't think so, but in Virginia Tech-type massacres most certainly.

As another student from Northern Illinois University died last week as a result of yet another shooting rampage, schools in 33 states (and counting) have adopted a new
emergency alert system called FAST to protect students and faculty from crazed gunmen, tornadoes and other disasters.

First Alert System Text (FAST), a text message system which alerts users about emergencies, has announced that all schools and municipalities will receive this emergency notification system for free. As a result, hundreds of schools including leading universities like the University of Alabama, University of Miami, and the University of Nebraska have adopted the system.

"Many of the students being killed or wounded in our schools could be alerted in sufficient time to save them from harm," said Robert Craddock, CEO of First Alert System Text. "Could an alert have saved lives in DeKalb? Probably not, but most certainly in a Virginia Tech-type of massacre."

Can a Video Game Make Your Kids More Fit?

Exclusive American Council on Exercise Research Proves Dance Dance
Revolution Can Be a Tremendous Workout

Based on the growing popularity of video games that eliminate conventional hand controllers in favor of more full-body interaction, the American Council on Exercise put Dance Dance Revolution to the test.

The ACE commissioned research out of the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, focused on quantifying DDR's potential physical benefits. Looking at the caloric expenditure data of 24 volunteers, researchers determined that it is comparable to many other aerobic activities and could result in significant weight loss if used regularly.

Led by John Porcari, Ph.D., FACSM and Anna Norlin, M.S., male and female subjects, ages 12 - 25 years old were recruited for the study. Half the volunteers were under the age of 18 and enlisted from the local La Crosse Boys & Girls Club.

Based on the physiological responses to three levels of DDR, all subjects showed a marked increase in exercise intensity as they participated. Adult participants burned more calories, which can be attributed to differences in body weight since the adults averaged about 25 pounds heavier than teenage subjects. On average, teens burned 5.9 kcal/min on light mode, 6.7 kcal/min on standard mode and 8.1 kcal/min of difficult
mode.

Time Warner Will Be “Aggressive” In Putting Nets On Demand

Bewkes: Everything Should Be VOD
Says Media Giant Will Be “Aggressive” In Putting Nets On Demand

By Mike Farrell -- Multichannel News, 2/6/2008 2:15:00 PM

After stirring up the market with plans to possibly spin off its cable and AOL online units, Time Warner Inc. CEO Jeff Bewkes aimed his sights at the media giant’s cable networks, telling analysts that he wants to be aggressive in making video on demand programming available across all of its networks.

“We and others in the industry need to be a bit more revolutionary than evolutionary in this area,” Bewkes said on a conference call with analysts Wednesday to discuss fourth- quarter results. “For some time I’ve had the strong belief that all linear ad-supported networks should make their programming lineups available on demand and on television sets, not just on broadband. It’s a win-win for consumers and networks alike. We’re going to be aggressive in putting our own networks on demand so we can show the industry the benefits of this model. We think it will cement the long-term prospects of these businesses.”
