PetsMobility to Launch the First Ever Cellular Telephone for Pets!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 15, 2004 -- PetsMobility(TM) Networks, Inc., will be manufacturing and launching the first ever PetsCell(TM) cellular telephone for pets. PetsMobility will provide wireless communication products and services to the rapidly growing multi-billion dollar pet market and is seeking corporate alliances and partners to assist the company.

The patent pending PetsMobility(TM) PetsCell(TM) will be compatible with existing cellular and satellite GPS technology. The PetsCell(TM) will allow pet owners to talk to their pets as well as allowing owners to request assistance should they require help. In addition, and perhaps more valuable, pet owners will have a piece of mind that if their pet is lost and someone finds their pet wandering the streets, with a simple press of a button on the mobile device, the auto dial will dial the owners home alerting the owner to retrieve their pet. The PetsCell(TM), 2-way communication device will also be available with an optional GPS tracking chip and a fibre optic camera for search and rescue applications.

PetsMobility(TM) is seeking to partner with major industry participants such as; cellular network providers, automotive manufacturers, financial institutions, pet retailers, hardware manufacturers, pet food processors, as well as other companies from non-competing industries. PetsMobility(TM) will introduce both non-pet and pet industry participants into this opportunity via a cross-collaborative market segmentation model.

"I am extremely thrilled to be able to publicly announce the introduction of PetsMobility Network and PetsCell(TM) cellular phone," said Cameron Robb, founder of the PetsCell(TM). "There are few really truly unique products that are unveiled each year, and I look forward to PetsMobility(TM) working with some major industry players the world over." The PetsMobility(TM) Networks' marketing plan will allow key strategic partners to uniquely differentiate their brands and to position themselves as corporations who truly provide products and services to meet the needs for "each and every" member of the family.

Robb believes the considerable interest the PetsCell(TM) has already garnered is due to not only the "singular aspect" of the PetsCell(TM), but more importantly the potential for many different niche market applications. "The ability to talk to your pet from a distance on the pet's own cellular phone is definitely novel, but I envision the PetsCell(TM) having search and rescue, military, guide dog or even potentially patient and elderly care applications to name a few."

In an effort to make the PetsCell(TM) easily available to its primary targeted customer base, Robb had the unit designed to operate with most major cellular network service providers. The usage plans will be sold as a bundled service through existing conventional cellular providers. "This is exciting news for all the conventional cellular service providers," Robb explains, "this new product will allow service providers to provide a very one of a kind service to their existing customers." Robb further added "Hopefully, the PetsCell(TM) will help these companies to increase customer loyalty. In addition, I believe it will provide an opportunity for our corporate partners to tap into a completely new market segment, the $34 Billion dollar North American pet market."

The return of Opie & Anthony
Booted off airwaves, duo take cover in satellite to dodge smut crackdown; is Howard Stern next?
October 1, 2004: 6:06 PM EDT
By Krysten Crawford, CNN/Money staff writer


NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Opie and Anthony return to radio Monday, but good luck finding them on the public airwaves.

To hear the bawdy duo, diehard fans must subscribe to satellite radio.

XM Satellite Radio, a subscription-based broadcaster, signed up Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia this summer, two years after they were dumped by Viacom unit Infinity Broadcasting over a stunt in which they broadcast descriptions of listeners having sex in public places, including St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.

With XM Satellite, Opie and Anthony found not only a new job, but also a haven from government watchdogs. They might have plenty of company soon.

Eight months since Janet Jackson's breast-baring incident during the live Super Bowl broadcast, the backlash against television shows and radio programming deemed smutty and offensive is gaining momentum.

And shock jocks in particular are feeling the heat. "The radio industry has sent out directives to all of the talent, putting them on notice that if they do anything that could be interpreted as obscene, they're fired," said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers, a monthly magazine covering the radio talk show industry. "There's zero tolerance."

Turning up the heat

For evidence, look no further than Howard Stern, who regularly laments on his morning show that the scrutiny will force him off the air. Stern's employer, Infinity Broadcasting, is already facing fines for a 2003 show that discussed anal sex in detail.

Clear Channel Communications, which carried the "Howard Stern Show" on six stations, agreed in June to pay a record $1.75 million fine for the same broadcast. Earlier, the country's No. 1 radio operator fired Stern.

Now comes word that members of Congress are pushing ahead with a proposed bill that would increase fines nearly 20-fold, to $500,000, for each violation of decency laws, and would permit federal regulators to fine performers, according to a report Friday in Communications Daily, a trade publication covering the telecommunications sector.

The bill would also permit the Federal Communications Commission to factor in a broadcaster's indecency violations when considering whether to renew its licenses. Under a "three strikes" provision, FCC regulators would be required to initiate proceedings to revoke a license if a broadcaster committed three violations in eight years.

Under current law, regulators don't have that kind of authority. And fines are limited to $27,500 for each violation.

Just last month, for instance, the FCC socked the 20 Viacom-owned CBS stations that aired Jackson's performance with a $550,000 fine -- the maximum allowed. Under the proposal to cap fines at $500,000 per violation, the total bill could have gone as high as $10 million.

Not surprisingly, free speech advocates and broadcasters are nervous.

Can Howard survive?

If passed, the bill will "ruin commercial radio," said Harrison of Talkers. "Radio is the medium of the street. If you can't talk the language of the people and of the day, then you're no longer effective. You might still be able to exist. But you can't evolve on a competitive level."

To be sure, there aren't that many shock jocks to begin with. But Harrison said popular radio personalities in Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago and Tampa have been fined or forced to modify their acts in recent months.

One example is "Bubba the Love Sponge," a Florida radio personality who, like Stern, was fired earlier this year by Clear Channel. Bubba, a.k.a. Todd Clem, had broadcast out of Tampa since 1996.

On the show's Web site, www.btls.com, Clem makes it clear that he sees satellite radio as his only hope for a revival.

Unlike public radio broadcasters, XM Satellite and Sirius Satellite Radio sell subscription-based, advertising-free services that are largely unregulated. That means the content on satellite radio is not restricted.

Yet, Tom Taylor, the editor of Inside Radio, a daily industry newsletter, said satellite services are treading carefully. There have been calls over time for government oversight of cable and satellite operators and, in this climate especially, Taylor said it might just happen.

"They don't want to wave red flags and become targets," said Taylor.

For that reason, Taylor predicted that more radio hosts will move to satellite radio in coming months, but it won't be an exodus.

What about Howard Stern, the one shock jock everyone is watching?

Rumors have been flying that the current climate would force Stern out at Infinity and into satellite radio's open arms. Stern, whose contract with Infinity runs out at the end of 2005, has long hinted that he might just make such a move.

But Harrison, for one, thinks Stern's job at Infinity is safe. He said the shock jock king, who analysts estimate brings in as much as $25 million in profits for Infinity each year, always manages to play anti-smut campaigns to his advantage. This time, said Harrison, he's done it by blaming election-year politics and efforts by the Bush administration to appeal to conservative voters.

"It's been good for him," said Harrison. "His ratings are up." Top of page

Cops Nab Fake Gynecologist

Dallas fraud offered free breast exams, enemas, pap smears

SEPTEMBER 30--Meet Thomas Remo. The 50-year-old Texas sleazeball is facing felony charges for posing as a doctor and offering unsuspecting patients free gynecological services. After busting Remo in an undercover sting, investigators are now trying to identify Dallas women who may have been victimized by Remo, who advertised his services--which included pap smears and "vaginal irrigation"--in a weekly newspaper. Remo ran his scam, remarkably, from an office at a self-storage facility, where he greeted one female undercover agent wearing white pants and a "white medical scrub shirt," according to these creepy Dallas County Sheriff's Department reports. Remo completed the look by wearing a stethoscope around his neck. Remo, who is being held without bond in a Dallas lockup, faces a maximum of ten years in prison if convicted of the medical charade.
