ASI Entertainment Appoints First SafeCell Licensee

SEATTLE, Mar 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
ASI Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB:ASIQ) announced today that it has signed a marketing licence agreement with Mr Edwin Chan for SafeCell, the Company's patent pending in flight mobile phone system.

The licence agreement comprises a payment of $100,000 for the marketing rights and a $100,000 investment in the Company based on one million shares at 10 cents per share.

The licence is for a two year term covering the Southern Asian region. As part of the agreement, Mr Chan will establish a marketing operation including promotional program. Mr Chan is a successful businessman and brings together a new team that will enhance the SafeCell opportunities in the region.

Ron Chapman, ASI CEO, stated "Edwin has been associated with the ASI Group for the past 2 years as the Asian Regional Director for ASiQ Limited Australia. Edwin's dedication and commitment to the ASI Group has been outstanding, and we are extremely pleased that he is now the first to come on board as a licensee for SafeCell."

SafeCell was created to allow passengers to use their mobile phones in aircraft, enabling them to send messages and data without incurring expensive roaming charges. SafeCell turns a normal mobile phone into a wireless communicator and communicates via satellite through the internet. SafeCell achieves this by downloading software onto the mobile phone, which enables it to operate like a normal messaging system. The SafeCell system connects via Bluetooth, so it suits all modern mobile phones including Blackberries, PDA's and new generation mobile phones that have wireless interface, such as iPhone.

European Commission on Monday has given its approval to passengers' in-flight use of mobile phones, opening the way for travelers to talk, text or send e-mails on mobile devices during flights in European skies.

European Union regulator’s approval means that passengers aboard aircraft outfitted with the European GSM technology can make phone calls, send, receive SMS text and e-mail messages while flying above 3000mts.

"In-flight mobile phone services can be a very interesting new service, especially for those business travelers who need to be ready to communicate wherever they are," said EU telecommunications commissioner Viviane Reding.

For this new service to come into being, Reding has urged cell phone service providers to lower their roaming rates as passengers would not accept artificially high prices. "Now we expect operators to be transparent and innovative in their price offerings," she said. "However, if consumers receive shock phone bills, the service will not take off."

According to an EU release, the system is quite simple: the service would work by allowing passengers' phones to be linked to an onboard cellular network connected to the ground via satellite, this will allow for very low power to be used by the phones, thus making them safe for the airplane's electronic equipment.

The plane will have its own cell, a special onboard network antenna that will ensure all mobile communications on the aircraft. While connecting the phones to the onboard cellular network, the system simultaneously will prevent phones from connecting directly to mobile networks on the ground below.

The cellular service will be turned off during takeoff and landing, and the passenger would be able to use the service over base stations situated on airplanes once flights have reached an altitude of 10,000 feet. The EU plan empowers the captain with the ability to disconnect service at any time.

Cell phone voice service on planes drew mixed reaction from mobile operators and carriers. While some companies already allow phones on planes, such as KLM's Air France unit, others go against it, such as Germany's Lufthansa.

Air France said it has run successful trials in which customers could send text messages and emails, but not talk, on phones, while Lufthansa said that a large majority of customers were against in-flight phone usage, because “People don't want to be disturbed.”

The United States and many other countries bar passengers to use mobile phones in flight because of safety concerns.
