Israel Postal Company Going Mobile With Effortel

BRUSSELS, July 27, 2010--

    - MVNO and Enabler Effortel Selected as Lead Consultant for Mobile
Services From Israel Post

    Effortel, the mobile virtual network operator and enabler, today
announced that it has been selected by the Israel Postal Company (Israel
Post) as the lead consultant in its plans to launch mobile services via its
network of more than 700 retail outlets. Effortel is tasked with defining the
market proposition, business planning and modelling and identifying a
suitable technology platform and operations partner. The project completion
will see Israel Post create one of the country's first mobile virtual network
operators (MVNO).

    Israel Post's move into the mobile arena follows the Israeli Government's
decision in 2010 to issue MVNO licences to stimulate competition and
innovation in the mobile sector. As the one of the largest existing
distributors of prepaid mobile top-ups via a comprehensive retail network,
and with established relationships with customers through its postal and
banking services, Israel Post is well positioned to capitalise on the
opportunity.

    Commenting on the appointment, Arkadi Panitch, Founder and CEO of
Effortel said,

    "Delivering mobile services directly provides Israel Post with a
significant revenue generating and brand building opportunity but it's a
complex arena. Effortel's experience in establishing MVNOs for its own joint
ventures, and for third parties across the world, will ensure Israel Post is
presented with the right solutions.

    Forward thinking retail brands around the world are now recognising the
value of owning the mobile relationship. The revenue generating potential is
obvious, but just as valuable is the opportunity to cement and build lasting
relationships via a service that, by definition, is always with the customer.

    Effortel will also be working closely with BDO Ziv Halft, the Israeli arm
of the global consulting practice, which will be delivering local market
intelligence and data. With that information to hand, Effortel will assist
Israel Post with business modelling, operational setup, marketing and
communications and the selection of a technology solution.

    Effortel's CMO, Liudvikas Andruilis, continued, "To date Effortel has
been responsible for the launch of seven MVNOs in six countries. Three of
those we own and operate, from a centralized enabling platform in Belgium, in
partnership with Carrefour, one of the world's largest retailers. We
understand the technical complexities but we also understand how to get the
most from the retail relationship."

    About Effortel

    Effortel, founded in 2005, is a multi-country Mobile Virtual Network
Operator (MVNO) operating in joint-venture partnership with major brands
across the world. Additionally the company is a Mobile Virtual Network
Enabler (MVNE) for third parties. Effortel offers the full range of
management services, marketing and operational platform-based transaction
processing.

    Effortel is the only MVNE worldwide that has deployed and is running a
centralized real-time IN system and is currently integrated with five mobile
operators across five countries (Belgium, Taiwan, Poland, Italy and Oman).

    Currently, Effortel centrally manages seven MVNOs on its platform - three
MVNOs in Joint Venture with Carrefour (Carrefour Mobile Belgium, Carrefour
Uno Mobile Italy and Carrefour Telecom Taiwan), as well as providing MVNE
services to Carrefour Mobile Mova and FM Group Mobile in Poland, Daily
Telecom in Italy and a soon-to-be launched MVNO in Oman Sultanate. For more

VisitPittsburgh Hopes to Expand Reunion Traffic with Minerd.com Joint Venture

BEAVER, Pa., July 27 -- VisitPittsburgh, the official tourist promotion agency of Allegheny County, PA, hopes its new joint venture with the award-winning Minerd.com website will draw more reunion groups to the region with inspiration and valuable advice.

"We're delighted to work with Minerd.com to reach new audiences around the world whose ancestral home is Pittsburgh," said Tinsy Lipchak, VisitPittsburgh's executive director of tourism and cultural heritage. "It's a model other families and regions can use to attract guests who may have no other reason to come."

The sites will share each other's content, including a top 10 list of tips, "Take It from Me," by Minerd.com's founder Mark Miner of Beaver, PA.

VisitPittsburgh.com is dedicated to generating convention, trade show and leisure travel business for Pittsburgh. The content-rich site lists current data about hotels, activities, events, festivals, transportation, sports, restaurants, cultural attractions and shops.

Minerd.com (http://www.minerd.com/) highlights the genealogy and reunion of the Minerd-Minard-Miner-Minor family. In 2010, it is celebrating its 10th anniversary, having drawn 1.5 million visitors since 2000. Twice named by Family Tree Magazine as a "Top 10 Family Website," it is changing perceptions of the long-term impact of ordinary families. Packed with 1,350 biographies and 8,000 images, it chronicles one Pennsylvania German clan over 220 years through thousands of lives and connections with Americana.

Seeking to attract googlers and appeal to an estimated 50,000 cousins alive today, Minerd.com's content is encyclopedic with names and locations. Some 1,000 long lost relatives have made contact over time, often sharing their own treasures.

The site promotes next year's reunion in Indian Head, PA, outside Pittsburgh, near where pioneers Jacob and Maria Minerd Sr. settled in 1791. Past reunion themes have honored military veterans, coal miners, quilters and educators. In 2008, the gathering at Pittsburgh's Heinz History Center celebrated the city's 250th birthday, with some cousins coming to the region for the first time since their ancestors migrated away in the 1810s.

Minerd.com explores the clan's local ties to Fallingwater, Braddock's Grave, National Road and Pittsburgh "anti-smoke" legislation. Nationally, it highlights links to the Battle of Little Big Horn, Oklahoma Land Rush, coal mine disasters, Mercury space flights, Mark Twain's deathbed, western pioneers and Big Band jazz.

Minerd.com's founder/webmaster divides his professional time as CEO of Mark Miner Communications and as chief marketing officer for the Malin Bergquist accounting firm.

Gold and Lounge Back by Popular Demand!

LONDON, July 27, 2010--     Jackpotjoy, a site who pride themselves listening to their members'
requests, have just announced that they're re-opening up two of their old 75
Ball Bingo Rooms - Gold and Lounge - allowing members a taste of the old
amidst their new look site.

    When Jackpotjoy.com launched their new look back in March this year, its
popularity was instant. It offered a sleek new look, a range of new features
and a whole load of new Bingo Rooms. So why have they decided to re-open two
of their former flagship 75 Ball Bingo Rooms? We caught up with the head of
Jackpotjoy, Adele Lawton, to find out more...

    "It's always a challenge to re-launch a well loved product," she
explains, "and Jackpotjoy is an excellent case in point. You need to be sure
that you're retaining the features that made you successful while developing
new ones that will help enhance the users' experience.

    "When we developed the new site, we knew we wanted a launch a new Bingo
product - there were a number of behind the scenes extras that we couldn't
build into the old one version - so we decided to re-design the rooms while
we did it.

    "Having said this, we know a number of our 75 Ball players really missed
Gold and Lounge - I think their look is quite unique in the market. The
members asked for the rooms to return and we're more than happy to oblige.

    "These new Gold and Lounge rooms are a perfect amalgamation of old and
new. They've got all the new behind the scenes features that the members
don't necessarily see with the classic design that they love. It's like being
able to have your cake and eat it!"

    The new rooms are being celebrated with a one day long promotion that
Guarantees a payout for every member who takes part. Picnic Play Win offers
up to GBP10 cash for everyone who spends more than GBP20 playing in the new
look Gold and Lounge Rooms, and the event takes place on the 20th July.

(sometimes!) mighty Kaa, the rock python. Mowgli learns to overcome adversity
and make progress in his life by using his quick wit and natural curiosity,

    Business Models to Enable Monetisation Across the Ecosystem

    At launch, WAC will allow operators to distribute applications through
their respective application storefronts and charge users through their
existing phone bill. In this model, developers will set the application price
and will receive a revenue share for the transaction. The revenue share will
be defined on an operator-by-operator basis. This will ensure that revenue
shares will be competitive in today's application market. WAC is a
not-for-profit organisation and will receive a small transaction fee for each
application to cover its operating costs.

    In the future, WAC will offer business models that enable additional
purchases from within an application; leverage network capabilities, such as
location, to enhance an application; and facilitate the serving of
advertisements to end users.

    "Developers will see great benefit in a single process through which they
can create, distribute and profit from their applications on multiple retail
outlets," said John Delaney, Research Director for Consumer Mobile with
industry analysts IDC. "Unification with JIL will prove a significant boost
for the Wholesale Application Community's efforts to achieve a global, open
development platform."

    WAC Specification and SDK Available in November
WAC will publish its initial specification and components of its SDK to
developers in November. This specification will be based on W3C standards and
create a strong platform for developing rich mobile web applications. WAC
will also provide backwards compatibility for devices based upon the current
JIL and BONDI specifications. Details of the developer roadmap and a preview
of the WAC specifications will be available in September.

    Developers currently creating JIL applications can continue working with
the existing JIL specification, tools and software libraries and these
applications can be deployed on JIL based devices immediately. With the
publication of the WAC specification, developers will also have a clear path
to deploy applications on a wider range of devices supporting the WAC
specification in 2011.

    "Today's announcement that we are bringing together the innovation and
leadership of WAC and JIL to form a combined entity marks a great step
forward in our goal to provide a truly unified and open applications
environment," said Michel Combes, Chairman of the Wholesale Applications
Community. "I am honoured to have been elected chairman of WAC and look
forward to serving with our distinguished board and company leadership to
turn this vision into reality."

    Editors notes:

    Michel Combes, Vodafone Chief Executive Europe and Chairman of the
Wholesale Applications Community, and Jean-Philippe Vanot, Deputy CEO, France
Telecom and Vice Chairman of WAC will join WAC management on a webinar today
at 2pm UTC/ 3pm BST to discuss their commitment to the success of the WAC
initiative. For dial in and webinar details, please contact Phil Rawcliffe on
press@wholesaleappcommunity.com

    About the Wholesale Applications Community

    Launched in February 2010, the Wholesale Applications Community (WAC) is
an open global alliance formed from leading organisations within the telecoms
sector. Uniting a fragmented applications marketplace, WAC will create an
open industry platform that benefits the entire ecosystem, including
applications developers, handset manufacturers, OS owners, network operators
and end users.

   
    The Wholesale Applications Community will:

    - Accelerate and expand the market for applications - Simplify
      application development by giving developers the opportunity to write
      applications that can be deployed across multiple platforms and
      multiple operators, and address a potential global market of more than
      3 billion users.

    - Create more compelling applications - Enable developers to utilise both
      device and network capabilities to create the next generation of
      applications.

    - Provide greater choice for users - Enable portability of applications
      across devices, operating systems and network operators.

Discover by Cooliris Delivers Fast and Fluid Experience for Knowledge Discovery on iPad

Immersive Magazine-Style Interface Creates a Delightful New Way to Discover Wikipedia

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 27 -- News Facts

Cooliris, innovator of the fastest and most stunning way to engage with media on desktops or devices, today announced the release of Discover, a freely available, immersive new iPad application that empowers users to explore information through an innovative, seamless magazine-style interface on Wikipedia.

Discover by Cooliris leverages the power of the iPad platform to deliver an enjoyable experience for Wikipedia's vast collection of articles.  Discover facilitates knowledge discovery with a fresh, intuitive user interface, and makes exploration a delightful experience, while also enabling users to find what they are searching for quickly and easily.

Featuring a beautiful and intuitive flowing interface, Discover by Cooliris enables users to flip easily and quickly through Wikipedia information like a magazine, instead of just clicking links and scrolling through long, text-heavy articles.  The outstanding breadth and depth of information provided by Wikipedia can sometimes make it difficult for users to navigate its content, or even know where to begin.

Through the crisp, magazine style interface, users are provided with simplified "flow" navigation, glossy photos and the ability to dive more deeply into a new concept or information using smart search on Wikipedia. Upon entering the experience, Discover showcases a beautifully displayed daily selection of featured Wikipedia articles, and media such as the Photo of the Day.

To deliver the magazine-style interface, Discover has implemented hypertext linking through iOS press and hold functionality, enabling users to highlight any word or term to access either the Wikipedia link or the word definition.  A simple shake of the iPad delivers the featured article of the day, or takes you to a brand new article to discover.

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Releases U-Ventures(TM) iPhone App Inspired by the Original Book Series, Choose Your Own Adventure®

NEW YORK, July 26 -- Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, today announced the first U-Ventures(TM): Return to the Cave of Time application available on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad as a multimedia, interactive reading experience. Simon & Schuster worked closely with software developer Expanded Books(TM)/Expanded Apps and Edward Packard, a creator and principal author of the classic Choose Your Own Adventure® book series.  The application, which is the first of three in the U-Ventures(TM) series, can be purchased on iTunes for $3.99.  The second story, U-Ventures(TM): Through the Black Hole will be released later this summer with a third, U-Ventures(TM): The Forbidden Castle, releasing in the fall.

"When Edward Packard's books were first published they changed the way kids perceived books and reading," said Justin Chanda, Publisher of Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.  "The interactive book was groundbreaking back then, so it is only fitting that Edward is the one breaking new ground today in the digital arena."

"Readers of the original Choose Your Own Adventure® books had to turn to a particular page to make a choice," said Edward Packard, a creator and principal author.  "In U-Ventures(TM) apps, they tap the screen. Plot progression is seamless. Our developer, Expanded Apps, added sound, light, and other special effects, even music and alien voices, and I introduced a lot more variations and endings and special situations: for example, where what happens depends on whether the reader remembers a secret word. In the original books, the reader was illustrated as a boy - sometimes a girl. U-Ventures(TM) are illustrated from the point of view of the reader: What you see is what you're looking at.  It's neat."

"Edward's books from this classic series inspire fond memories from adults who grew up reading them, and we are thrilled to bring the books back to life for them and also introduce the idea of an interactive text to younger generations. Our goal with this application and all the Expanded Book(TM) applications we create is not to merely port over the text to a mobile reading device but, instead, focus on creating new, immersive experiences for readers. We add functionality that takes readers far beyond the words on the page," said Skye Van Raalte-Herzog, CEO of Expanded Books(TM)/Expanded Apps.

"Especially when developing reading applications for children, we recognize the importance of reaching them on the mobile devices they are comfortable using that will encourage and inspire them to keep reading," said Todd Stevens, President Expanded Books(TM)/ Expanded Apps.

Glam Media, After Reaching #1 for Women, Starts to Target Male Audiences-Launches New Vertical for Men's Sports

Brash.com for Men, Owned by Glam Media - Launches an Alternative to Yahoo!'s Male Sports Channel - Creating The #3 Men's Web Property With Over 30 Million Unique Visitors

SILICON VALLEY, Calif. and NEW YORK, July 26 -- Glam Media, Inc. (http://www.GlamMedia.com), the number one vertical media company for women online and one of the top global display media properties, today announced it is now starting to significantly leverage its business model to go after men -- launching its first Men's Sports Channel. Brash.com, owned by Glam Media, has acquired Sportgenic (http://www.Sportgenic.com) -- one of the leading men's sports vertical media startups based in San Francisco, and has added leading men's publishers (including SportsFanLive and Bloguin), professional social media authors, and digital video producers.

Today, Glam Media is launching the Vertical "BrashSports," delivering fans, participants, and social fanatics across all sports. This acquisition expands Brash.com vertical leadership in Men 18-49 to over 30 million unique visitors in the U.S., making Brash #3 after Yahoo! Sports and ESPN with a massive, passionate, and socially engaged male audience online. Brash has added over 25 new men's properties -- making Brash Media a leader in offering 360 degree "whole life" solutions for brands looking to surround and engage men online.

"Since our launch in 2005, our mission has been to bring premium brands online--starting with first targeting the 'Spenders'," said Samir Arora, chairman and CEO of Glam Media. "Having completely crushed the former leader iVillage with only 35 Million unique visitors in reach vs. Glam's 85 Million, it is now time to leverage our strength as #1 for Women to go after the Men's Vertical media business online. The acquisition of Sportgenic and the addition of top men's content publishers delivers super-passionate, highly engaged audiences with the next generation technology platform."

  Monthly Reach: Unique Visitors

           1. Yahoo! Sports Male
           Sites                    42 Million
          2. ESPN Sites             30.5 Million
          3. Brash.com Men Sites    30 Million

For brands, Brash offers a unique set of solutions that only vertical media can--large scale reach across premium verticals, combined with engaging content by hand-selected publishers, blogs with passionate, loyal, social media followings, and overlaid by advanced targeting technology capabilities using the next generation GlamAdapt.

"Reebok has always been about driving deeper connection with our core audiences," said Richard Prenderville, Head of Global Brand Marketing at Reebok. "We're always looking for new ways to become more a part of men's lives. The Brash acquisition of Sportgenic-- creating a powerful combination of reach, content, and audiences--gives us the ability to reach men across all areas of passion, including sports."

In addition to Sports, Brash is also expanding other Men's Channels in Entertainment and Lifestyle. As part of the launch of BrashSports, Brash will also be launching the BrashSports Top 100 Men that have changed the game in Sports on Brash.com.

Brash is now approximately 10% of Glam Media's business in the US--increasing significantly as a separate and important Vertical.

About Brash Media

Brash Media is a Men-focused web property owned by Glam Media--the pioneer of vertical media that connects the world's top brand advertisers with targeted audiences online. Glam invented the first commercial Blog Network in 2005 to harness the power of Social Media for Brands.

Lockheed Martin Launches Eureka Streams(TM) Open Source Project for Enterprise Social Networking

GAITHERSBURG, Md., July 26 -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) today launched the Eureka Streams(TM) open source project for enterprise social networking.  Eureka Streams helps knowledge workers make informed decisions by finding relevant colleagues and groups, following their streams of activity, and engaging in conversation. Eureka Streams represents a new communication experience for knowledge workers, empowering them to pick and choose the channels of news, information, and conversation that add the most value to their day-to-day work.

  (Photo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100726/PH40598 )

Over the past four years, Lockheed Martin has developed and deployed proprietary social media solutions across its own enterprise based on commercial off-the-shelf software.  These solutions have enabled its employees to collaboratively develop and share content through such tools as blogs and wikis.  Eureka Streams complements content-focused tools by providing a simple and fast communication experience knowledge workers are accustomed to outside the workplace.  With Eureka Streams, enterprises can provide this experience to their employees in a secure environment.

According to an independent Forrester Research, Inc. report entitled "Harnessing Social Networking to Drive Transformation" dated November 2009, "Smart organizations are looking to tap into the full power of the enterprise and beyond to drive better and faster decisions and to foster innovation that will keep them at the forefront of the changing economy. One approach that's top of mind for business technology leaders is the use of social networks to drive communities that span traditional organizational structures."

Eureka Streams provides an open platform to support agile decision making and innovation.

"Lockheed Martin drives social media adoption by finding innovative ways to integrate a social dimension into our existing processes and tools," said Monica McManus, Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions, which recently deployed Eureka Streams to more than 36,000 employees.

Built on open standards and powered by open source, the Eureka Streams Community Edition is licensed to developers under the Apache 2.0 open source license.  Developers are invited to learn more at http://www.eurekastreams.org.  In the future, Lockheed Martin plans to offer editions of Eureka Streams for use by enterprise customers.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 136,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2009 sales of $45.2 billion.

cellcontrol(TM) First Enforceable Distracted Driving Solution for Commercial Vehicles, Busses and Other Class-A Vehicles

New Federal Rule Announced by U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary LaHood to Prevent Interstate Truck Drivers and Bus Drivers from Texting Can Now be Enforced with cellcontrol(TM)

BATON ROUGE, La., July 26 -- cellcontrol(TM), a leading supplier of driving while distracted solutions, announced today that it has adapted its cellcontrol technology to Class A (SAE J1939), an industry standard that will allow cellcontrol to operate within a variety of fleet vehicles including commercial vehicles, big rigs, school busses, heavy equipment and other Class-A vehicles. Utilizing the vehicle's onboard computer, cellcontrol determines when the vehicle is moving at any speed and instantly blocks the use of a driver's cell phone, laptop computer or other mobile device based on a company's distracted driving policy.

Mobile phone functions that cellcontrol can prevent include phone, text, e-mail, Web, push-to-talk and other distracting features. Calling 911 is always allowed as well as incoming texts, emails and calls, which are received but cannot be accessed or responded to while the vehicle is moving. In addition to those features, cellcontrol will also report idle time, mileage and speed capturing for fleet managers who want to ensure their drivers are following correct company policies and procedures when it comes to the operation of their company vehicle.

Federal Rule to Prevent Distracted Driving

In March 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) proposed to Secretary LaHood a new federal rule that would specifically prohibit texting by interstate bus and truck drivers while driving their vehicle. The news came on the heels of President Obama signing an Executive Order directing federal employees not to engage in text messaging while driving government-owned vehicles or equipment. Federal employees were required to comply with the ban starting on December 30, 2009.

cellcontrol is aimed at helping prevent the 500,000 injury-resulting accidents that are caused each year by the use of a mobile device while driving.  Utilizing patent pending technology, cellcontrol can block one or many of the features that come equipped on a mobile phone.  Another key feature of cellcontrol is its ability to prevent the use of laptops when a vehicle is moving. This is especially helpful for companies, who manage mobile employees that continuously work on their computers during the course of the work day.

Additionally, cellcontrol enables users to "white list" certain numbers to be allowed through the system. For example, a fleet manager can have only calls from his company go through to their drivers' phone. Users also have the freedom to customize which mobile features they want to prevent. For example, a fleet manager in Austin, Texas. may choose to block only texts and e-mails (since that is currently Austin city law), but still allow phone calls. Additionally, the technology allows for one phone to be paired with many vehicles.

"An accident caused by a driver of a bus or 18-wheeler while using their mobile device has the potential for traumatic results and significantly increases the odds of a fatality in comparison to a passenger vehicle," said Chuck Cox, CEO of cellcontrol. "Because of this very real danger of such negligent activity, as well as federal and state laws,  we have now proven our capability to work in both passenger and heavy vehicles, allowing for the first time a safe, reliable and accurate technology solution which will enforce the federal rule preventing bus and truck drivers from texting while driving."

For sales inquiries, please call 888-896-9753.

cellcontrol, based in Baton Rouge, La., is the most accurate, secure and dependable solution for distracted driving caused by cellular phones and other mobile devices as well as idle time and speed data recording.  cellcontrol uses the automobile's computer and phone/device software to put a stop to texting, e-mail, Web browsing and phone use while operating a vehicle and to record idle time for one vehicle or a fleet. For more information on cellcontrol, go to http://www.cellcontrol.com.

Following Its World Premiere At San Diego Comic-Con 2010, Episode 301 Debuts Today At http://www.legendofneil.com Third Season Features All-Star Line-Up Of Guest Stars And Musicians Including The Sklar Brothers ('Cheap Seats,' 'Back On Topps'), Alex Albrecht ('Totally Rad Show,' 'Diggnation'), Robert Hoffman ('Step Up 2: The Streets'), Dragon Boy Suede ('Jimmy Kimmel Live!') And Garfunkel And Oates Series Creator Sandeep Parikh Secures Blind Script Deal With On-Air Partner COMEDY CENTRAL

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, July 26 -- Following a world premiere at San Diego Comic-Con 2010, the third and final season of Streamy-nominated "Legend Of Neil" launches today at Atom.com, the digital comedy network and COMEDY CENTRAL's anchor brand for original digital content. With over 4.5 million plays, the hit Web series created by Sandeep Parikh and starring Tony Janning, Mike Rose, Scott Chernoff and Felicia Day ("Red," "The Guild") has built an enthusiastic fan base since its debut in 2008.  After a raucous screening to an audience of over 500 fans at Comic-Con on Saturday, season three of "Legend Of Neil" officially kicks off with Atom.com's online release of episode 301 today at http://www.legendofneil.com.

"Legend Of Neil" follows Neil (Tony Janning) as he is sucked into the classic video game "Legend of Zelda(TM)" after a heavy night of drinking and is forced to become the iconic elfin hero that is Link.  The third season introduces several new friends and foes, revisits Neil's relationship with Felicia Day's tiny foul-mouthed Fairy and continues his journey through the game to save the princess (Angie Hill).  Guest stars include the Sklar Brothers ("Cheap Seats," "Back On Topps"), Alex Albrecht ("Totally Rad Show," "Diggnation"), Jeff Lewis ("The Guild"), Robert Hoffman ("Step Up 2: The Streets") and Fahim Anwar and David Harris (MTV's 'Disaster Date').  Featured musicians who have recorded theme music for the third season include Dragon Boy Suede ("Jimmy Kimmel Live!," "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents"), Internet stars Molly Lewis and Garfunkel and Oates, Paul and Storm ("The Bob & Tom Show") and Jonathan Coulton ("Portal").

"Tony and I have wanted this series to be a trilogy of seasons and we can't thank the folks over at Atom enough for getting behind our vision and making the third and final season possible," said creator Sandeep Parikh.  "Without a doubt, season three will be our most epic, ridiculous, raunchy, absurd and nerdiest of them all.  We've assembled an incredible cast and crew, which really enabled me to push the bounds of Web television."

With the runaway success of "Legend Of Neil" and Parikh's longstanding relationship with Atom.com, the creator has secured a blind script deal with the Atom.com's on-air partner, COMEDY CENTRAL.  The deal commissions Parikh to develop and write for the network.

Seven new episodes will debut during season three of "Legend Of Neil," with one new episode premiering every other Tuesday.  The season will include bonus videos and behind-the-scenes material.  Additionally, this fall Parikh will host an episode of "Atom TV," COMEDY CENTRAL's half-hour, late-night series featuring original Web programming from Atom.com.

All episodes from all seasons of "Legend Of Neil" can be viewed at Atom's official site for the series at http://www.legendofneil.com.

AT&T Tees Up the 3G Mobile Broadband Network in the Greenbrier and Lewisburg

Local Wireless Network Upgrade Extends Access to Advanced Products, Services and Applications in White Sulphur Springs, Lewisburg, Caldwell and Ronceverte

LEWISBURG, W. Va., July 26 -- AT&T* today announced the availability of its third generation (3G) mobile broadband network at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, Lewisburg and surrounding communities including Caldwell and Ronceverte. The launch opens the door to a new era of mobile services, devices and feature-rich audio and video content for golf fans this week, and consumers and businesses in the area.

"I am pleased that AT&T is deploying the latest 3G broadband technology in White Sulphur Springs, Lewisburg and the surrounding communities," said Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin.  "Not only does this improve the quality of daily life for all residents, but it will help attract businesses and grow jobs. This is why I work for policies which make West Virginia a place where companies want to locate and invest."

"During the past several years, we've made substantial private investments to provide our customers across West Virginia with access to the kind of technology that will stimulate economic growth, inspire innovation and create jobs," said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Mid Atlantic.

The 3G launch is part of AT&T's ongoing efforts to extend its 3G wireless network - the fastest in the nation, according to independent testing.  They are also part of AT&T's previously announced plans to drive innovation and expand its mobile network across the state.  From 2007 through 2009, AT&T's total capital investment in its West Virginia wireless and wireline networks was nearly $90 million.

"Demand for wireless bandwidth is growing, whether it's for sharing video and photos or catching up on a great sporting event  on an AT&T smart phone, netbook or other mobile device while on the go," said Erika K. Thompson-Kemp, vice president and general manager for AT&T in West Virginia and Virginia. "With this expansion, our customers can enjoy the nation's best, most advanced mobile broadband service with emerging devices and tens of thousands of mobile applications."

Wireless data traffic on the AT&T network grew more than 5,000 percent from 2007 to 2009, largely attributed to the increasing popularity of advanced smartphones and the performance of AT&T's 3G network, the nation's fastest.

Earlier this year, AT&T completed a software upgrade of High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology at 3G cell sites nationwide. Another software upgrade to HSPA+, which prepares the nation's fastest 3G network for even faster speeds, is planned for later this year. AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, with access to voice service in over 220 countries and data service in more than 195 countries. AT&T also offers voice and data roaming coverage on more than 135 major cruise ships, as well as 3G services in more than 120 countries.
