HOUSTON, Nov. 23, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- SCAN, the Secure Cops Alert Network, provided by SCAN USA Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sharp Holding Corp. (OTCBB:SHAR), was covered in a recent TV news broadcast by KWTV News 9 in Oklahoma. The broadcast featured an interview with SCAN USA founder George Sharp, commentary by Andy Morgan of SBC Communications and reporting by KWTV's Jennifer Pierce.
"SCAN empowers residents to take action by arming them with critical emergency information," said George Sharp. "You tell SCAN when and where you want to receive alerts. There is simply no other system like SCAN that tailors alerts to fit the needs of local communities. And the system is delivered free of charge."
SCAN is designed to be the first national emergency alert system that allows local police departments and public safety agencies to broadcast alerts to the PCs, cell phones, pagers and PDA's of their neighborhood and local residents. SCAN USA has announced an exclusive marketing partnership with SBC Communications to provide alerts free of charge to SBC customers in SBC's thirteen state territory. The program is planned to begin in California by December, 2004 and Texas and other states during 2005.
