*KATRINAWISH.COM NARROWCASTING SYSTEM CONNECTS WORLD TO EVACUEES*

*/Anyone, Anywhere Can Send Digital-Wishes Directly To Those Affected  
By Hurricane Katrina/*

*Scotts** **Valley**, CA **September 21, 2005** –* The MediaTile  
Company, along with its partners ProView, Chief Manufacturing and  
Rollouts, and with support from the American Red Cross, today  
announced that it has deployed a narrowcasting system that delivers  
digital-wishes on large screen TVs to individuals and families  
affected by Hurricane Katrina. From the KatrinaWish.com website,  
individuals, families, schools, associations and communities from all  
over the world can send their digital-wishes using the MediaTile  
narrowcasting system directly to large-screen TVs in evacuee centers.  
Large screens TVs are being initially deployed in Baton Rouge, LA and  
Jackson, MS where evacuees are being assisted; additional systems  
will be deployed as new site logistics are completed.

“It is simple human nature to want to comfort those in distress, and  
KatrinaWish.com facilitates this connection, regardless of the miles  
between individuals.” said Keith Kelsen, CEO of The MediaTile  
Company. “KatrinaWish.com makes it possible to provide the ongoing  
emotional support that is so critical to overcoming this type of  
devastation to one’s life while facilitating financial support. Our  
entire team wanted to help during this time of crisis. We realized  
that our technology was ideal for this situation because it  
communicates over cellular networks and only needs power. I encourage  
everyone to visit KatrinaWish.com and send a digital-wish to those in  
need. We’re prepared to take millions of well wishes and narrowcast  
them directly to evacuees”.

The KatrinaWish.com narrowcasting system accepts static digital  
images in jpeg formats, such as a digital photograph of an individual  
holding a sign, or video clips in mpeg2 formats. From the  
KatrinaWish.com website, digital-wishes can be uploaded and delivered  
at no charge. The site also includes a notice and link to make a  
donation to the American Red Cross.
