ENRON TO BROADCAST INTERNATIONAL CRICKET TOURNAMENT LIVE VIA THE INTERNET

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, March 22, 2000
HOUSTON - Enron Broadband Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enron Corp. and a leader in the delivery of high-bandwidth application services, announced today that the Coca-Cola Cup 2000 Cricket Tournament in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, will be webcast live to Internet users over the Enron Intelligent Network (EIN).

The tournament is being held from March 22 through March 31 and can be viewed in real-time at www.total-cricket.com. The Internet is a medium for cricket fans around the world to watch the sport since it is not widely televised, and thousands of fans from around the world are expected to log-on.

World Tel, an Indian sports production and distribution company, will beam the cricket matches by satellite to Enron’s encoding and decoding center in Las Vegas where the signal will be distributed immediately over the EIN. Enron is one of the first companies to offer the powerful combination of satellite and terrestrial content delivery within a proprietary broadband network.

“Enron is unleashing the distribution power of the global Internet,” said Garry Egan, Manager of Enron Broadband Services’ Engineering Group. “Webcasting the cricket tournament is one example of the high-bandwidth entertainment, communications, and business applications made possible by our network.”

The EIN connects ISPs with Enron’s high capacity fiber network that seamlessly interfaces with Internet portals. The combination of satellite and terrestrial technology within the EIN provides the quality of service, bandwidth on demand and continual uptime required to take advantage of new high-bandwidth communications. These features, together with Enron’s ability to broadcast content directly to thousands of sites simultaneously, will enable ISPs to avoid the congestion, delays and bandwidth limitations of the public Internet.

“The location of this event in the UAE has dramatically increased the technical complexity involved to stream the match. That it is possible is testament to the robustness of Enron’s network,” said Sanjay Bhatnagar, CEO of Enron India. “Enron is delighted to bring this important tournament to viewers who would have otherwise been unable to watch. As the infrastructure in India continues to improve, people in India will be able to enjoy quality global webcasts.”

Enron Broadband Services is a leading provider of high-quality, broadband Internet content and applications. The company’s business model combines the power of the Enron Intelligent Network, Enron’s Broadband Operating System, bandwidth trading and intermediation services, and high-bandwidth applications, to fundamentally improve the experience and functionality of the Internet. Enron introduces its Broadband Operating System to allow application developers to dynamically provision bandwidth on demand for the end-to-end quality of service necessary to deliver broadband content. Enron also has created a market for bandwidth that will allow network providers to scale to meet the demands that are required by increasingly complex applications.

Enjoy The Holiday Season With Flame Less Candles

The harvesting of the fields has been happening here for the past few weeks. The Canadian Geese are flying over my home and taking refuge in the same fields, year after year. The holiday season is fast approaching. It is time to think about gifts that are affordable and unique. I am thinking about getting flameless scented candles for gifts this year. Scentsy is a new provider of these gifts. Their flagship product is the Scentsy warmer.

Have you never heard of them ? Well, I hadn’t either until a couple of years ago. A friend has them throughout her house and it made quite an impression on my senses. The scents, combined with the stylish warmers, are really quite an experience. There are dozens of warmers available and even more scents of wax. This allows me to speak to the individuality of each family member and friend that I send one to.

We are all experiencing a very tough economy right now and none of us should be worrying about how much money we could or should be spending. Go to the website scentsified.com and check it out. There is something affordable for everyone. This is the way it should be !

Candle innovations have come so far since the first candles were ever made. There is something almost magical, and soothing about candles. Burning them calms and soothes people, and gives off a wonderful glow, not to mention smell if you have scented candles, or even the new scentsy warmers that burn lovely small pods of candles into liquid bliss.

Scentsy warmers are beautiful warming pot type candle warmers that burn your candle to lovely smelling liquid that wont burn you, your children, or pets is somehow spilt, or ruin your furniture or carpet.

There is nothing quite worse than trying to remove wax from carpet, or furniture.

If you live in Australia, and you’re looking for a job, you might want a check out our site sponsor gumtree.com.au and they offer jobs in Melbourne, Victoria as well as other parts of the world.

If you have ever used Craigslist, you have become familiar with that bland white-on-blue interface and limited functionality. While this is the most simple design and thus the most stable, gumtree.com.au has developed a similar interface that looks 100% better and still has the simplicity required for easy navigation.

I’m not quite sure of the unemployment statistics for Australia, but I know that no matter what you do, no matter where you are, the ability to convert a few extra hours a day into cash should always be part of your agenda.

Sure, there are the normal “be your own boss” scam ads however 95% of the ads that I saw were genuine paying jobs.

Even if you’re looking for jobs in Singapore, this site not only features jobs in Melbourne, but also Jobs In Glasgow, Jobs In Hong Kong, Jobs In York and Jobs In Sydney. Hotel jobs in Sydney? No problem.

The Sydney classifieds offered everything from cars for sale to dating services. What I find most interesting, ironically, is that a site so well versed in Australia is called gumtree.com. Funny name, great website.

If you’re in Sydney and are looking for a Sydney tickets for sale, look no further. Everything from a world wrestling entertainment (WWE) to the chemical brothers were on sale and available on this web site.
