MIAMI, July 20, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Digital Utilities Ventures, Inc. (Pink Sheets: DUTV), an innovator in over the web video transport systems, announced today that it had successfully tested and is launching its breakthrough Direct Internet to TV Broadcasting System.

Called The New Last Mile, it uses an Internet based platform to deliver its TV programming. All the viewer needs is a broadband connection, either fiber or Wi-Fi, to the Internet to tap into the Digital Utilities Network. Then, acting as a virtual cable company, it piggybacks on the existing broadband connection to stream live programs of broadcast quality from anywhere in the world over the Internet directly to TV audiences and Cell Phone subscribers without having to build out proprietary fiber optic lines to homes...and it can do this using under 1 megabit of the Internet as the backbone to the television set or cell phone.

"This new network technology is a scaleable, server-based system that can be integrated into a wireless or wireline environment, said Digital Utilities' President, Garry McHenry. "The advantages to telecoms and cable operators are significant: -- They can dramatically increase their customer reach by eliminating the requirement of a total network build out, including a last mile link to the consumer, while -- Improving profitability and customer retention by offering subscribers a full range of digital communications services coupled with unlimited content access."The IPTV World Forum - The Company successfully demonstrated its technology at the IPTV World Forum in March of 2008 in London and is in discussions with leading communications companies such as SingTel, Asia's largest communications group with operations and investments in more than 20 countries and territories around the world. SingTel recently submitted its bid to the government of Singapore to design, build and operate the active infrastructure of Singapore's Next Generation National Broadband Network.
