Thaon Communications, Inc. (OTC BB:THAO)
The Thaon Network: 80 percent of the world’s computers
Thaon is following in the footsteps of innovative companies that ruled the marketplace from the moment they burst out of the starting gate. With 80 percent of the world’s computers tied to a 56K modem, Thaon’s broadcasts reach a global network of mind boggling size.
Capturing Lucrative Markets
Thaon is moving fast to secure dominance in recession-proof markets including the Web broadcasting of live corporate meetings. Now, a company can use Thaon to broadcast an interactive corporate meeting connecting an indefinite number of its employees all over the world. Shareholder meetings can be broadcast live for about the same cost as a two-page press release. Web-based product presentations could make trade shows obsolete.
Overnight Sensation
Thaon’s potential to dominate the corporate broadcast market parallels that of satellite service providers. For example, all companies wishing to broadcast via satellite — no matter what their content — must use a satellite provider. It’s a powerful position. What Echostar Communications and Direct TV are to satellite television, Thaon will be to the delivery of live corporate video over the Internet: the game board that all players must use.
Business seminars. Conventions. College lectures and debates. Newscasts. All are potential multi-billion dollar industries that could be transformed by the ability to broadcast live over the Internet. Countless untapped markets, such as town hall meetings, may explode into multi-million dollar revenue streams as the technology develops. And as the technology improves, Thaon will be at the forefront.
First-In Status Creates Potential Windfall
Thaon’s recent acquisition of Legal Broadcasting Company positions the company to claim the #1 spot in the emerging market for video depositions (already a $5 billion industry). Court reporting and other possible future legal uses expand the potential legal market to more than $90 billion. There are no major players in the legal broadcasting industry. This further supports Thaon’s ability to capture the market.
$ynergy
Thaon’s affiliate companies are rising stars in multi-billion dollar sectors. Each is positioned to slam dunk the competition by using webcast technology from Thaon subsidiary, Castpro.com. Castpro.com gives all Thaon affiliates the tools to truly transform their markets — much like when wireless capability was added to phone service, or when VCRs expanded the role of TV sets. It’s that big.
“Like adding stereo to recordings, or color to TV — this changes everything. There’s no turning back."

Curse of the Dial-up Modem
Until now, the dial-up modem has prevented the Internet from revolutionizing video communications. There’s a flood of information on the Web, but standard 56K modems act as damns blocking data from being received at the speed it’s sent. Thus, the Internet remains stuck in a page-driven dinosaur age — sending images that are closer to picture books than to television.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Internet’s Dinosaur Age is Over
Thaon blows away the modem bottleneck. Thaon can send video transmissions over the Internet that can be received by 56K modems. No modem changes or upgrades are required to view this broadcast marvel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Standard in Global Communications
Thaon Communications can broadcast studio-quality video over the Internet at speeds many times faster than today’s standard. This changes the ground rules by which the Internet operates. Thaon is moving quickly to establish subsidiaries in lucrative niche markets — each worth $ billions — where the impact of this technology will create historic growth companies.
