Mike, Here is the press release found on Yahoo. Monday April 13, 11:49 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: FutureTrak International, Inc. FutureTrak Unveils Breakthrough Technology For Canadian Software Programming Space Scanner Tracking System To Offer Canadian Viewers Access To Both ExpressVu And Star Choice Satellites POMPANO BEACH, Fla., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- FutureTrak International, Inc. (Nasdaq: FTRK - news) announced today that it is the first company to offer the Canadian marine and mobile markets access to the services of the two major DBS satellite providers in Canada; ExpressVu and Star Choice. The FutureTrak Space Scanner is successfully tracking and receiving programming offered by both companies. Jonic International, the largest distributor of ExpressVu products with over 1,500 retail outlets, became the initial distributor of the FutureTrak product line in Canada. Steve Remondini, President of FutureTrak International, stated, ''This is a breakthrough, and we will continue to lead the industry in developing technologies and products that will offer the highest quality at the most competitive prices.'' He later added, ''This is only the beginning, as our technology experts are completing testing on some very exciting new products.'' Remondini also pointed out that he is pleased that FutureTrak can provide Canadian viewers a broader and wider programming choice that can be enjoyed by both families and business ventures. He revealed that, ''South America is our next target market,'' while noting that ''the ability to have international access, be informed, and remain mobile will be a key to success in the next millennium.'' The Canadian breakthrough comes soon after FutureTrak announced that Lockheed Martin [NYSE:LMT - news] was joining forces in manufacturing the Space Scanner product line. The FutureTrak Space Scanner is a unique automatic satellite tracking device that is capable of being preprogrammed for up to 36 different satellites. The system allows the consumer the ability to receive satellite television from their boat or RV. Due to its tracking speed, weight, and price, the Space Scanner is in a niche market with no other competitors. FutureTrak International is a manufacturer and distributor of innovative satellite technologies, concentrating on the marine and mobile markets. SOURCE: FutureTrak International, Inc.
