PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2001

Today eCom eCom.com, Inc. (OTCBB:ECEC) released more details concerning recent discussions with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. James DeLong, eCom eCom's Vice President of Marketing, revealed that the scope of work that the company will perform for NASA involves the delivery of multiple data and video streams in support of launch pad security and maintenance.

In a meeting last week, NASA engineers and eCom eCom agreed to the specifications for a technology prototype based on architecture that satisfies detailed security and delivery requirements. "The meeting was very intense and detailed. We talked about everything from the user experience to the challenges associated with synchronizing images with data from multiple sources," said DeLong. "This was extremely helpful in focusing our delivery efforts for America's space team."

"We are excited about the potential to contribute to the excellence of the space program and security of the people who risk so much for the rest of us," said R. C. Wilson, eCom eCom's President. "This demonstration can also prove to be important to other government agencies that need real time collaboration of information."

In the aftermath of the September 11 strikes on the United States, many government entities have been challenged to provide resources and programs to support the nation's war on global terrorism. David Panaia, eCom eCom Chairman, noted that NASA also is likely to focus on issues that are related to national defense. "Because of its extensive experience in developing technologies, NASA should be tapped to spearhead the research and development of these initiatives, and eCom eCom is ready to work with NASA," said Panaia.

A recent article published on Space.com quoted a number of experts who perceive NASA as a source of technical expertise to fight the war on terrorism. The article cited comments made by Joan Johnson-Freese, a professor in the Department of Transnational Studies in the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies. "The Department of Defense is looking at enhanced communications requirements, along with intelligence-gathering systems, including imagery, as well as any and all kinds of sensors," Johnson-Freese said. "NASA has vast experience in developing exactly the kinds of technologies the military needs, and ought to be involved."

In related news, Panaia announced that the company is exploring methods of responding to President Bush's suggestion of employing video coverage of commercial aircraft cabins. " We believe that our encoded image technology and our collaborative area network architecture might just fill the bill," Panaia said.

eCom eCom.com, Inc delivers revolutionary image encoding technology that enables real time Internet delivery of multi media and increases available storage space on computing platforms. The company's Dry Ice(TM) technology is uniquely positioned to become a new leader in image, text, video and data delivery.
