eCom eCom's MyPhotoZip Puts the Squeeze on Digital Images; Compression Ratios of Up to 1,000:1 Break the Barriers to Speedy Transmission

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2002-- Responding to questions received from customers and to highlight the unique capabilities of MyPhotoZip(TM) (MPZ) technology, David J. Panaia, CEO of eCom eCom, Inc. (OTCBB:ECEC), today provided a simplified, non-technical description of the MPZ process. MPZ is a solution for the home computer user. eCom eCom is dedicating its efforts to the new technology because it is viewed by the company as the foundation for building an extensive line of MPZ products.

"It really is a quantum leap in image compression," said Panaia. "I challenge anyone to find another product on the market that can match the dynamic performance of MPZ. Images gobble up your disk space. Using MPZ, a photo with a file size of 12,000,000 bytes (12MB) can be compressed to as little as 12,000 bytes (12KB) and viewed with little or no loss of quality! Then the reduced image can be restored back to its original file size using the mathematical fingerprints embedded in .mpz format.

"The benefits of this technology are enormous," added Panaia. "Obviously, digital photographers can save on disk space. An entire album can be stored on a 1.44 MB floppy disk instead of burning up 144 MB of hard drive. However, I believe that the greatest advantage of MyPhotoZip(TM) is its incredible ability to accelerate transmission speeds. Images are transmitted while they're tiny. Typically, a 12 MB image in TIFF format can take over 28 minutes to transmit through a 56K modem. Using .mpz format, the same image will stream through that same modem in about 30 seconds!"

MyPhotoZip(TM), which targets the rapidly growing digital photography market, is the first in a series of products to be developed using MPZ technology. Priced at $39.95 with a money-back guarantee, MyPhotoZip(TM) is now available for download at http://www.myphotozip.com.

The Company is in negotiations with several corporate entities and recently finalized a software agreement through one of its strategic alliance partners. "We envision that MPZ will become a standard in every computer," said Panaia. For more information on MPZ, please visit http://www.myphotozip.com.
