INFOCAST INVOLVED IN US EFFORT TO REDUCE EMISSIONS LAUNCHES NORTH AMERICAN TELEWORK SOLUTION TORONTO October 27, 1999 ? INFOCAST CORPORATION (?InfoCast?) (OTC BB symbol: ?IFCC?), a leading Application Service Provider (ASP), has been working with U.S. policy makers to design a program that will offer financial incentives to encourage more companies to allow their employees to work from home via remote access technology. The goal, according to Dr. Don Ritter, seven term US Congressman and Chairman of the National Environmental Policy Institute (NEPI) based in Washington D.C., ?is to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in five of the most heavily affected cities in the United States.? InfoCast has been invited by NEPI to act as technology advisor for the pilot programs. These programs will be launched in Washington, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. Two other pilot program cities will be selected at a later date by the program directors. ?Traffic congestion and air quality are of utmost concern to US policy makers?, commented Rick Shannon, President of InfoCast?s Calgary office. ?So much so that earlier this month the U.S. Congress passed The National Telecommuting and Air Quality Act, (http://thomas.loc.gov (Search Bill# S.1521.IS)) which is giving rise to the pilot programs we?re helping to develop,? he said. The pilot programs will be modeled after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?s successful credit trading program targeting acid rain emissions. The program will quantify the amount of mobile source emissions saved or eliminated through Teleworking. Businesses can allocate their credits as they see fit, keeping, stockpiling, or trading them. Under the new legislation, the Telework pilot program will issue credits to participating employers reflecting the amount of auto emissions saved by their Teleworking employees. InfoCast Corporation has aligned with several strategic partners to provide a complete Telework solution to businesses. The company has been involved as ?technology advisor? to the National Environmental Policy Institute in Washington D.C. which, as a result of the legislation, will be awarded a grant to work with the U.S. Departments of Energy and Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and state officials. Under that grant, an emission-trading program will be designed for the five pilot cities by next year. InfoCast has developed proprietary technology that will assist with the pilot program by calculating automobile emissions saved through Telework programs. Shannon said that such technology is ?an absolutely vital element that will be integral to awarding credit incentives to companies?. Dr. Ritter is in Calgary today speaking at a luncheon hosted by InfoCast Corporation and Sun Microsystems. ?Telework is a vital transportation demand management option for many cities? said Ritter. ?We have the opportunity to learn from successful initiatives, particularly where it applies to Teleworking and emissions credit trading.? Shannon stated ?InfoCast is currently developing the infrastructure to make Teleworking and other distributed functions such as Call Center, Distance Learning and other applications work seamlessly and easily for corporations and their employees where, when and how they need them, at an affordable price.? InfoCast Corporation, an Application Service Provider (ASP), is in the business of electronic content delivery and information management to meet the high-speed information needs of global corporate consumers. InfoCast uses a sophisticated distributed architecture technology that brings reliability and scalability to application distributed across a network. This technology provides the infrastructure that enables and enhances applications such as InfoCast?s initiatives in Distance Learning, Telework, Virtual Call Center Solutions and Application Hosting.
