"The iCam is designed to be extremely simple to operate. Basically, you plug the unit in, turn it
on, and you are broadcasting video," said Walter Westmoreland, President and founder of
WorldLink. "Anyone can view the video streams using Windows Media Player which is available
free from Microsoft."
WorldLink has incorporated leading digital technologies into the product. "In order to provide the
highest-quality experience to the end user, we have committed to using the best technology

Westmoreland.
"We're excited that WorldLink is using Windows Media," said Kevin Unangst, Lead Product
Manager, Streaming Media Division at Microsoft Corp. "The iCam is a great example of the
innovative solutions enabled by Windows Media Technologies."
WorldLink has entered into an agreement with Chronicle Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin

install the new devices at Chronicle's facility in Tampa, Florida. Several video signals or "streams"
will be available for viewing on the Internet on Chronicle's website at chronicleinc.com .
"Chronicle Communications was designated as the location for testing the prototype units
because of its one-of-a kind printing press installation and various proposed uses of the iCam
technology, such as proprietary company intranet broadcast for security, Internet broadcast of
business-related marketing, and investor relations," said Westmoreland.
