FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, March 27, 2007 -- Orlando, Fl March 27, 2007 -- Air2Web, the leading provider of mobile marketing and messaging applications, today announced that EarthCam, Inc., the world’s leading network of live webcams, has selected Air2Web’s Content Gateway solution to support the company’s upcoming North American consumer marketing campaign which will promote mobile device access to select EarthCam-operated webcams and exclusive unique applications. Air2Web’s Content Gateway provides direct connections to all major U.S. carriers, and over 470 worldwide carriers.

Under the one-year agreement, Air2Web will develop a customized mobile content channel for EarthCam that will serve as the mobile device delivery mechanism for the company’s online promotion and major-market broadcast spots, scheduled to launch on May 15, 2007. Each EarthCam advertisement will include integrated short message service (SMS) and voice components to expand its reach and effectiveness. As part of this engagement, Air2Web will also give EarthCam access to tier one, tier two, and the majority of tier three carriers to facilitate delivery of EarthCam’s mobile content through those respective platforms.

All EarthCam promos will instruct users to text a short code to a specified number, after which Air2Web will send the individual a link that allows purchase and download of select EarthCam content to mobile devices. Once a user becomes an EarthCam subscriber, he or she will then have access to a wide range of EarthCam content, including international live webcams, local traffic information, and weather updates. In addition, subscribers will be offered a wide range of exclusive Hawaiian Tropic model content, including screen savers, streaming video pageants, streaming video ringers, live pageant voting options, and major event webcasts.
