NEXT.TV Selected by AlwaysOn as an OnHollywood 100 Top Private Company Award Winner

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 2, 2008) - NEXT.TV, a new Internet television service which debuted on Hewlett Packard consumer notebooks and is set to launch a universal web application, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnHollywood 100 Top Private Companies. The OnHollywood 100 is a power list of the top private emerging technology companies in digital entertainment and media. NEXT.TV was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on a set of five criteria -- innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

NEXT.TV, along with the rest of the OnHollywood 100, will be honored at the OnHollywood & BRiM event on June 10-11, 2008 at the Sofitel Hotel in West Hollywood, California. OnHollywood gathers executives from both the entertainment and the technology industries to identify and debate emerging trends, in addition to building relationships and taking advantage of potential new business partnerships. The first annual Broadband Rights Marketplace (BRiM) will launch an online network that supports new creative projects and offers a digital-rights exchange and auction.

"This year's OnHollywood 100 represents the brightest of the innovators in the new media space. We are enthusiastic about gathering the leaders in a collaborative environment that fuses these two industries together, culminating in the richest, most progressive conversations on Hollywood's digital movement," said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn.

The OnHollywood 100 was selected from more than 1000 companies, peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts.

Introduced on Hewlett Packard notebooks, NEXT.TV brings a true TV-like experience to consumer PCs using a wired or wireless broadband Internet connection and offers broadcast-quality content to viewers for free. Where more and more consumers are using their computers for entertainment in addition to work, NEXT.TV helps bridge this gap, bringing together advertisers, content owners and viewers in an easy-to-use, entertainment driven environment.

"We are honored to be named as part of the OnHollywood 100 this year as we are set to launch our NEXT.TV web application," said NEXT.TV CEO Rex Wong. "Through the most state-of-the-art technology, we're able to bring quality online programming beyond the laptop into the living rooms of consumers -- a movement that could reinvent the consumption of entertainment."
