April 19, 2006
Santa Ana, CA -- eWAN1, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EWAN - News) announced
that it is launching its Global Internet television (IPtv) service
today in front of the entire sponsorship and attendee base of the
"IPTV & Beyond" Expo being held today and Thursday at the Marriott
Del Mar, San Diego, CA. EWAN, a "Panel Sponsor" of the event, is
joining other world leading telecommunications and technology
companies to present at the Expo, including Motorola (NYSE:MOT -
News), Alcatel (NYSE:ALA - News), Bell Canada, Siemens (NYSE:SI -
News), Tut Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TUTS - News) and a host of
others.EWAN will debut its first-to-market multi-language Global
IPtv network by demonstrating and deploying its multiple channels of
"On Demand" content delivered to subscribers' televisions through
DSL or any other broadband Internet connection. The Company is
initially offering consumers 75 channels of high definition clarity
"On Demand" broadcast content through their televisions. Through
EWAN's subsidiaries, Clearwave Broadcasting and Direct Connect,
Inc., the Company shortly thereafter offers subscribers up to an
additional 100 channels of traditional broadcast content and enables
them to select only those channels and networks of their choice and
nothing more. |

Scott Kettle, EWAN's President, commented, "This launch
fundamentally changes the nature of EWAN and its impact on the IPtv
universe. In a very short period of time, we have undergone a
transformation from a designer of best-of-breed set-top boxes and
provider of bandwidth to being a significant competitor in providing
traditional broadcast content over Internet Protocol. I would be
shocked if any company with significant investments in IPtv has the
amount of content we have straight out of the gate." He continued,
"We are extremely excited to have launched our service and look
forward to concentrate our energies to subscriber acquisition and
distributing our bundled service in the Global market."
EWAN's wireless "Triple Play" Digital Media Center, which gives
subscribers the ability to deliver high definition programming over
"non-HDTV" televisions, comes pre-bundled with a monthly
subscription for the channels of content, which consumers can order
online and from local retail channels. EWAN is forecasting that
approximately 250,000 set-top box units will be sold worldwide in
the first year of distribution.
About eWan1, Inc.
EWAN's wireless "Triple Play" Digital Media Center connects directly
to a television to enable viewing of broadcast and cable television
(IPtv), enables video-on-demand of movies and documentaries,
features traditional Internet access, telephone service (VOIP) and
data and video capability including video conferencing. The boxes'
new IPtv cache will also feature music channels that will play music
and the corresponding video if it is available, as well as provide
"time shifted" services such as the ability to record one program
while watching another, similar to the offering of TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO
- News). The set-top box is pre-bundled with a monthly subscription
to EWAN's new Global Internet Television service, which is scheduled
to launch on April 19th, and will enable subscribers able to access
their local TV stations, plus EWAN's initial 75 channels of "Ala
Carte" traditional broadcast television and content delivered in 36
major languages, anywhere on the planet. EWAN believes it is the
first company with the ability to deliver Internet TV with the
clarity of high definition to its subscribers' TV sets. EWAN's
wholly owned subsidiary, Direct Connect, will provide traditional
broadcast television, allowing subscribers to pick and choose only
those channels they are willing to pay for.
