SMART and American IDC launch Interactive SmartTv JukeBox™

HOLLYWOOD, CA, March 9th, 2005 –American IDC Corporation (OTC:ACNI:PK) and Smart Entertainment bring SmartTv JukeBox™ to your phone.
SmartTv JukeBox™ is a new SMS or “text messaging” service that allows mobile users for the 1st time in history, to make requests for a song, chat, buy logos and ring tones from a television “show”, using their cell phone. Each SMS is charged a PremiumSMS rate depending on the content purchased. In Europe, these services generate millions of dollars per day; a simple SMS “text message” that is sent from your mobile phone, appears within seconds on your TV screen, and the participant is billed, usually $0.75 or more.
"What better way to be able to sit at home with some good friends over a drink and use your mobile phone as a remote control to ask for your favorite music video to be played nationwide?” asks Halldor Sanne, CEO and President of SMART. To make it even better, follow up by sending a text message with greetings to your friend and the text will appear while your music video choice is being played.
“This is new revenue to be made for TV stations--for airtime that has so far not been fully used to generate income,” says Sanne. Within a short time, TV stations will be using these services to generate million of dollars per day for their less desirable timeslots.
“Every piece of the screen is used in one way or another to generate revenue,” remarks Emily Priscilla COO and Co-Founder of SMART. “People can watch a TV screen that offers them anything from choices of songs to be played, content--like ring tones and screen savers, to nationwide chat with other mobile users who are watching as well. Seeing your text appear on the screen and being able to choose, let’s say ‘Movie of the Week’ to be shown, is very exciting--and all this from your cell phone!”
The service is very simple to use: Say for example you want to choose a song to be played. On the screen is a menu of songs. You choose a Britney Spears song to be played, so text the message SONG BRITNEY, to the number 76278 or SMART. If your song has enough viewer votes, the song is then played within minutes. The best part is that the fee is charged to your mobile phone for each SMS. “This will change television and the way TV stations do business. Soon, they will be using this technology to generate income they did not see coming this year.”
SmartTV JukeBox™ was formulated by Smart Entertainment in 2002, and has been successfully implemented in Europe. Try out our new SmartChat service by sending the word CHAT to the number 76278 (SMART). For further information and a brochure, please contact Smart Entertainment at 646.675.1615 or 310.666.7340.
