NXTV, Inc. Signs Agreement with Kerzner International

LOS ANGELES -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- NXTV, Inc., the leading provider of digital IP-based entertainment and data services to the luxury hotel market, today announced that it has signed a long-term contract with Kerzner International Bahamas Limited to supply HD video-on-demand entertainment and wireless Internet services to Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in The Bahamas.

Kerzner's flagship brand, Atlantis, Paradise Island, is known worldwide as a resort destination that is truly redefining family entertainment and gaming in the tropics. The resort offers more than 2,300 guest accommodations all built around the resort's focal point: 11 million gallons of fresh and salt-water pools and lagoons and a marine habitat second only to Mother Nature -- a remarkable, unparalleled assortment of exhibit lagoons and underwater formations displaying 200 species of marine life, consisting of 50,000 live animals, ranging from schools of sharks to rainbows of tropical fish. Atlantis sits on a seemingly endless stretch of beach that has been called the most beautiful in the world and is home to the most exciting casino in the Caribbean. A vibrant tribute to the myth of the lost continent, Atlantis is also the perfect location for the many films, television shows, concerts and sporting events, including the recent feature film "After the Sunset" with Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek; ABC's "My Wife and Kids," starring Damon Wayans; and CBS's primetime special "Rob and Amber Get Married."

"Kerzner is delighted to announce this agreement with NXTV," said Howard Pickett, Chief Marketing Officer for Kerzner International Resorts. "We believe NXTV will help us enhance the overall experience for our guests. The future for providing HD entertainment and wireless Internet access to the guest room is via IP-based solutions, and with NXTV, we can provide our guests a true twenty-first century in-room experience."

NXTV is now the leading IP provider in HD and digital television-centered entertainment and data services with over 25,000 luxury rooms both in the United States and internationally. "We are delighted to have been selected to provide our services to Atlantis, Paradise Island and look forward to the opportunity to work with other hotels within the Kerzner International portfolio of brands," added James Miles, President & CEO of NXTV, Inc.

The company will be launching several new development initiatives at this year's HITEC show, including its new High-Definition set-top-box displaying HD Hollywood movies, 3D IP-based Video Games, VoIP services and HD Cable TV, as well as a brand new Guest Interface and universal remote control. All services will be fully integrated with both Plasma and LCD flat-panel TVs with LG, Panasonic, Philips and Sony brands on display. The show, held in Los Angeles, will run from June 20th to June 23rd, and NXTV can be found at Booth 725.

NXTV is owned by the Pivotal Group, an investment company with a $1.5 billion valued portfolio of real estate, hotel and technology assets, including the Century Plaza Hotel Los Angeles; Pacific Crossing Ltd., operating the PC-1 submarine fiber-optic telecomm network between the U.S. and Japan; and Internet domain name company Network Solutions, which Pivotal recently purchased from VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN) for $100 million.
