TokyoMex... Very germane post. Now we just have to find an inexpensive way to get those folks online and surfing. ***** LDDI Announces Formation of Powerchannel Division, Contract with American Interactive Media and Enhancement of Strategic Objectives PEARL RIVER, N.Y., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Long Distance Direct Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: LDDI - news) announces that it has formed a new division, incorporated as PowerChannel, Inc. PowerChannel has been formed to provide a unique worldwide program of access utilizing the television. The technology will employ a set-top box, infrared remote control keyboard, and a regular remote control. In furtherance of its intentions, PowerChannel has signed an agreement with American Interactive Media, Inc. (''AIM'') (OTC Bulletin Board: AIME - news) to purchase set-top Internet access devices, supported by AIM's proprietary webPassport(TM) Internet access service, which provides subscribers with full access to the Internet through their existing television sets without the need for a computer. The underlying Internet access will be supplied by LDDI through its previously announced agreement with IDT Corporation (Nasdaq: IDTC - news), a major national Internet backbone supplier, under which LDDI has become an ISP (Internet Service Provider). PowerChannel's unique set-top box and proprietary services will allow households free use of the Internet without the need of a personal computer, and will shortly provide an upgrade option to provide a range of telephone services. PowerChannel intends to commence installation of the devices in September and October 1998, with a full rollout scheduled for the first quarter of 1999. Steve Lampert, President of PowerChannel and LDDI said, ''PowerChannel has researched the Internet TV market and determined that AIME's webPassport solution provides us with a very attractive business model. AIME's integrated system of hardware, software, and its portal of network programming and content places PowerChannel in the TV Internet business overnight. Based on our new relationship with AIME, we believe we can become one of the fastest growing Internet Service Providers in the US, and our goal is to achieve over 1,000,000 subscribers over the next two years. Plans call for initial distribution to begin in the 1998 fourth quarter with a national rollout scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 1999.'' Long Distance Direct Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Pearl River, New York, is a specialty marketer of telephone, teleconferencing, cellular long distance, voice mail, Internet and prepaid phone cards to small and medium sized commercial as well as residential customers.

And it seems that MUCP has finally come out of hiding with a new PR firm at the investor's relations helm. Ron *********************************** MSU Corporation Develops Internet Browser for China and Taiwan MILTON KEYNES, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 1998--MSU Corporation (OTC BB:MUCP) announced today that it has developed an Internet browser that can translate Chinese for use with its SlipStream Internet access technology. A prototype of the new technology, which is capable of translating both Old and New Chinese, has already been demonstrated in China, and MSU will be ready to market the technology within eight weeks. SlipStream, which provides users with Internet access via a television and a regular telephone line, already has the capability -- using MSU's browser -- to translate the Internet information of several other foreign languages, including Spanish, French and German, but until now, it could not interpret Chinese and other ''character'' languages. In addition to opening the Chinese market to the company, this development will make it much easier for MSU to develop browser capabilities for other countries that write with double-byte characters, such as Japan. MSU's browser will work with most service providers, can be converted to other platforms, is fully compliant with HTML 3.2 and comes bundled with e-mail. The code for the entire package takes up only half a egabyte -- the smallest browser package currently available, according to MSU's estimations. Wynford P. Holloway, president, chairman and CEO of MSU Corporation, commented, ''We are truly excited about this development. We already have an established relationship with several businesses in China that are eager to use this new technology. With a population of more than one billion people, we believe the explosive marketing potential speaks for itself and that the number of possible applications for this product in a country of this geographical size is staggering. In addition, we will be aggressively pursuing licensing agreements for this innovative technology.'' MSU Corporation designs and develops computer chips and chip sets principally for use in consumer electronic products. Most of the company's chips are capable of multiple functions and eliminate the need for additional chips. Moreover, they diminish the risk of malfunction and error, permit more efficient circuit-board designs and are available at a low cost. In addition to computer chips, MSU develops consumer electronic products and reference platforms for itself and other companies. Its SlipStream Internet access technology enables anyone with a television and regular telephone line to access the Internet and send and receive e-mail. And when used with MSU's customized, proprietary browser, SlipStream allows users in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, China and English and Spanish-speaking countries to access and interact with foreign web sites in their native language. The SlipStream technology is also manufactured and marketed in a TV set-top box by MSU's manufacturing partner Mitac, Inc., a major Taiwanese manufacturing company. MSU also offer custom services in chip design, hardware and operating-system development, computer peripheral-design development and application-software development, consulting and sourcing.
