News Release - Habu.TV is Live and Sets it's Sites on Yokosuka and Bases in Pacific by Ross P. Johnson

IPTV in Yokosuka, Yokota, Misawa, Zama, and Sasebo that provides quality reliable HD programming with over 200 channels of live American programming streaming with 2Mbps guaranteed bandwidth to each Customer's set-top box is here with Habu.TV. Talking with Mr. Clay Cook, the CEO/Chairman of Vision One Global Communications, a full-service communications provider to the the large contingent of US Military and Expats living in Japan, says the road has not been without it's "bumps". "We have been through no less than 3 different providers and potential providers of the IPTV services we were searching for to find the absolute finest quality, reliability, and user-friendly solution that meets all the legal requirements in the US for our Constituents here.", says Clay. "One might think that it would be easy to find such a solution...but marrying 2 or 3 parties to ensure that the Customer receives the absolute best service for the best price...and meets all the other criteria mentioned...has been a long and bumpy road."

"We are recieving great response from the markets here in Japan on the military bases...the word is out that now we have it...and are live. With over 250 channels of quality US TV programming streamed directly to anywhere in the world utilizing SlingBox technology with an actual set-top box solution to your TV and or computer, you can now watch all of your favorite TV shows, dramas, pro-sports, college sports, movies, news, entertainment. Our channel line-up includes: Every HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Netflix, ESPN, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, BET, MTV, digital music radio with every genre, Sci-FI, Discovery, Disney, History, Nat Geo, and so much more!"

We asked Mr. Cook what separates your www.Habu.TV service from the rest of the pack of base cable services being offered? "Well, simply put, we have quality live streaming of 250 premium cable channels - the entire solution, not only the SlingBox streaming to your computer, but we offer the SlingCatcher set-top box decoder using SlingMedia's advanced IPTV network with their proprietary compression that allows for higher quality streaming with lower bandwidth requirements on the Client's viewing end. Legalities are always a major concern; and with our legal team in New York, we believe that we have met all guidelines and criteria based on current laws on the books covering IPTV. The real difference here is that every Customer is simultaneously signed up for an actual cable subscription of their own in the US; so in effect, you are complying with the laws by just "time-shifting" your programming and watching it elswhere. In Japan where the Expat will view the service, the local laws aren't infringed upon because we are not broadcasting in that country."

Bandwidth is the main stumbling block that prevents IPTV service in some areas in Asia. On the Military bases in Japan, they have cable TV/Internet service available and the bandwidth is "pretty good", says Clay. "However, up till now there have been no competion for these services allowed on the Military bases because of "exclusivity" contracts that the US Military allows OCONUS that would not be legal in the US."

"With Habu.TV the Customer can cancel their cable subscription with their base cable provider and opt for Internet only packages and alternatively subscribe to our service. We don't believe that the bases can prevent this because there is no difference between our IPTV service and someone purchasing say an ESPN Season Ticket subscription on their computer...not to mention that it would be completely illegal for the bases to try and block these services."
