Press Release Summary = Offers Residential VOD & Live TV Broadcast Services with No
Restrictions on Domestic ISPs

Press Release Body = Tokyo, Japan - August 22, 2006 - Streaming21, the world's
leader in broadcast-quality streaming solutions, today announced that it has
successfully rolled-out Japan's most popular residential Video-On-Demand (VOD) & IP
Broadcasting services for GEO@Channel, operated by Enterwave. GEO@Channel will be
the first IP broadcasting service in Japan that offers full-screen TV playback with
delivery through open networks. In contrast to traditional live video channels over
the Internet that users often see on the PC, the GEO@Channel uses Set-top Box (STB)
with high-quality, full-motion video playback on TV. Also, unlike traditional IPTV
services, which rely on expensive managed network, GEO@Channel service works over
the Internet and is available to any broadband users in Japan, regardless of
domestic ISP to which users subscribe. This unique home entertainment service
targets to capture millions of new users by the end of this year on a national
scale.

Shinichi Asano, President of Enterwave said, "Thanks to Streaming21's groundbreaking
technology, GEO@channel can now offer appealing VOD and live broadcast services to
subscribers from any ISP. Streaming21's innovative IPTV technologies break the
boundaries and limitations that telcos and broadband service operators have been
suffering from closed IP environment. By adapting Streaming21's solutions, we will
continue to enjoy tremendous increases in subscribers and ARPU."

GEO@Channel offers more than 5 channels with expansion capability to 40 channels,
including America's hottest Nickelodeon channels for Children (Japanese and
English), e-weather.net, Bloomberg Television, Paradise TV and Reality TV, etc. It
also allows members to rent Hollywood movies, Japanese movies, animations, and TV
drama titles without having to visit a video shop (through NEO Index\'s Nextensive
VOD service) and access various other broadband-based services in the comfort of
their home by simply hooking up a special tuner (Set-Top Box or STB) to the TV set.


Dr. Joe Lin, President and CEO of Streaming21 said, \"Enterwave's GEO@Channel
represents one of the most exciting successful stories in Japan's IPTV history. This
milestone project further strengthens Streaming21\'s unwavering commitment to working
with Enterwave, Japan\'s leading VOD service provider, to create compelling new TV
experiences that will attract customers and add tremendous values to service
providers.\" He added, "Streaming21 is the world's only interactive IPTV solutions
provider over fixed, mobile and open networks. The company's innovative "adaptive
jitter management" technology enables jitter-free stream delivery over open network
compared to a managed network to operate IPTV services. Not only Tier 1 Telco could
offer IPTV service, but also any xSP could easily provide IPTV without dedicated
networks. This breakthrough technology is running successfully in Japan. We expect
to replicate our successes to our customers in Asia Pacific, Europe and then to the
US soon."

Streaming21 has won many Tier 1 Telcos and IPTV service providers, including NTT
Communications, Index Group, VIC TOKAI and TEPCO in Japan, as well as Korea Telecom
(KT), and Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom (CHT). Streaming21 team helps customers rollout
IPTV services with world-class efficiency and professionalism.
