Re Agreement

Yoomedia PLC 13 September 2004 News Release 13 September 2004 YooMedia and ICTV to trial broadband TV on ntl platform BroadbandTV Group, the recently formed joint venture between YooMedia and ICTV, is to break new ground in UK interactive television by pioneering broadband quality interactivity in a trial with ntl, the UK's leading digital cable TV provider. ICTV's HeadendWare (R) technology allows for far richer content within the interactive broadcast stream than conventional interactive TV platforms because it uses the techniques and tools that define high-end web experiences. Its capabilities, which will be made available through ntl's existing standard cable set-top boxes, include Flash and Shockwave (R) animation and high quality streaming audio and full motion video. YooMedia's chief executive, David Docherty, describes the difference in quality as similar to that between dial-up Internet and broadband Internet. 'It has the potential to transform the interactive experience for the viewer in the same way that broadband transformed the Internet experience for web-users,' he said. Mike McGrail, chief executive of ICTV, said: 'Until now, interactive television has lacked the vivid quality of linear television or the best of the worldwide web. Our technology gives BroadbandTV Group the opportunity to create a new elite class of interactive services.' BroadbandTV has also created a Partner Programme for broadcasters and content providers to familiarise themselves with the possibilities opened up by the HeadendWare (R) technology. Initial Development Partners include the BBC and MTV. Under the trial, BroadbandTV services will be made available to selected ntl customers in 2005.
