Press Release Body: Dotcom-Monitor Adds Video Streaming Monitoring Service

Plymouth, MN - (12/10/2007) - Dotcom-Monitor, the leader and innovator in
advanced website monitoring services, announces real-time video stream functionality
monitoring, a new option for its innovative and indispensable website monitoring
service.

Dotcom-Monitor, a leading web site monitoring company, announced a new monitoring
service today that assists corporations in the video streaming market and increases
the stability and effectiveness of their video content services. This video stream
monitoring service directly impacts the video streaming market that was worth an
estimated $600 million in 2006 as reported by Research and Markets, a market
research group based in Ireland. Most companies that provide video on their websites
require their streaming content to be available 24/7 to attract visitors, serve
advertisements, and provide informational or instructional materials. Competing in
the Internet's world market necessitates the highest quality with minimal
interruption of streams. Dotcom-Monitor assists corporations in maintaining an edge
over their competition through Quality of Service (QoS) assurance.

Simple and Comprehensive Media Monitoring

Application of Dotcom-Monitor's services is nearly effortless. Corporations
provide the URL and specifications of their streaming content, and Dotcom-Monitor
consistently ascertains its performance. Businesses specify the parameters for
notification, such as connection timeout in seconds, acceptable buffering time, and
expected bps (bits per second) rate. This information is entered into a
sophisticated monitoring system, and then the specified site is monitored from 12
strategically located worldwide stations.

Monitoring Streaming Content

Sites that provide numerous pages of streaming content will benefit most from the
addition of real-time video stream functionality to Dotcom-Monitor's service
package. The monitoring service is especially beneficial to sites with a tremendous
amount of content that is difficult to monitor. Dotcom-Monitor's service, however,
can make this task seamless. Dotcom-Monitor keeps track of multiple performance
metrics, such as Connection time, Buffering Time, Received Packages, Buffering
Packages, Frame Rate and Average Bytes per Second. By analyzing those metrics one
can determine quality of the service over periods of time and if necessary make
needed adjustments/

Entire Suite of Services

Video monitoring is just one facet of the complete services package provided by
Dotcom-Monitor. Its success is a direct result of its comprehensive and
sophisticated systems and analytical capabilities. Rather than a typical
connectivity test, Dotcom-Monitor's services produce an environment of dependable
website QoS, which is a critical component for a successful online business.

Even if a site's appearance and performance appear to be acceptable from one
browser, access may be difficult elsewhere. Dotcom-Monitor uses 12 monitoring
stations around the world to ensure that access to a site is not impeded from any
location.

By subscribing to Dotcom-Monitor's services, corporations can feel confident that
their online infrastructure is up and running, no matter where the site is accessed.
Corporations that are alerted to problems will use their own resources to solve
identified issues, but they will be able to address complications immediately and
directly. Extensive reporting in real time, using easy-to-understand graphical
charts that describe performance and variations, will offer a further advantage.

Instant Notification

Dotcom-Monitor's services enable clients to choose not only a preferable means of
notification but also the appropriate people in the corporation to alert, notifying
them by telephone, pager, or email when there is any degradation of streaming
content or any other site issue. Alerts are issued immediately, so that problem
solving can commence as quickly as possible. Dotcom-Monitor acts as an insurance
policy on the uptime and performance of critical media content, an assurance that
most companies cannot afford to go without. Any business that relies on the Internet
and must validate QoS and Service Level Agreement requirements can do so easily and
inexpensively by implementing the tools offered by Dotcom-Monitor.
