an agreement in principle with Sky Way Aircraft, Inc. in which
Air DoDah® will be the exclusive portal for wireless Internet
service provided by Sky Way Aircraft, Inc. aboard commercial
flights. In-flight Internet service is slated to begin in
the 1st Quarter of 2003 and will be provided free of charge
to mobile computing users, at speeds up to 10 times faster
than traditional cable or DSL connections. The only requirement
for access is high-speed wireless capability (802.11b), standard
in many newer mobile computers or available as a low-cost
PCMCIA card.
Concurrent
with the press release, DoDah® is running a 6-month promotion
for its premium business listing, called the Interactive Portal™.
The Interactive Portal™ retails for $699, but during
the promotional period it is available at no cost. With an
Interactive Portal™, businesses can communicate targeted
audio and/or video messages to prospects or customers using
DoDah's® streaming media. In addition, a unique, patent-pending
feature of the Interactive Portal™ is that it facilitates
a dialogue between businesses and their customers.
"The
Air DoDah® agreement represents a quantum leap for airline
passengers to access the Internet", said Mr. Bernard
Petrescue, President of DoDah Worldwide, Inc. "What's
more, never in the history of the Internet, has access to
it been provided free of charge."

technology, DoDah® allows for successful, one-screen searches,

is launched, the station is instantly added to the real time
