BETHESDA, Md. -– Sept. 13, 2005 – The new Games-on-Demand broadband service from Verizon
Communications (NYSE:VZ) will be powered by Exent Technologies, the global market leader
in the secure digital delivery of games.
Using Exent’s industry-leading Games-on-Demand platform, Verizon now delivers
a premium interactive gaming experience to people who love games and have a broadband
connection. Subscribers can enjoy access to hundreds of computer games – with no
time limits – for one monthly fee. Verizon Games-on-Demand Unlimited is available for
$14.95 per month and Verizon Games on Demand Family Place is priced at $7.95 per month.
The Exent EXEtender™ technology eliminates the need for users to perform tasks like
manually checking hardware compatibility, performing installations and downloading new
patches/drivers that are normally required for PC games. Consumers experience the ease
of a console-like gaming experience with just a click of their mouse to launch games.
The customer gaming experience will be enhanced by the speed and reliability that comes
with a high-powered Verizon broadband connection to deliver games online.
