FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WEATHER FORECAST, LLC LAUNCHES FIRST
USER-CONTROLLED WEATHERCAM IN THE UNITED STATES
USING SATELLITE ACCESS

Located in Bar Harbor, Maine Through AccuWeather iSight
Order for 25 New Locations Received

Buffalo, New York, June 6, 2002:
When checking out current weather conditions in remote locations, Weather Forecast, LLCs user-controlled WeatherCams need high speed Internet access for maximum performance.

Since high-speed access has rolled out to only certain, densely populated areas of the United States, Weather Forecast, LLC needed a new solution for the rapidly expanding WeatherCam program it runs for AccuWeather and AccuWeather.com, called AccuWeather iSight . It offers views of many popular U.S. business and tourist destinations, and will be locating WeatherCams in some remote locations, parks and construction sites not covered by high speed Internet access.

Weather Forecast LLC turned to Hughes Network Systems, which in turn, pointed it in the direction of C-COM Satellite Systems, Inc. based in Ontario, Canada. Together, Weather Forecast and C-Com worked together to integrate the two systems together using the DIRECWAYä satellite system.

We believe that we have launched the first non-governmental, user-controlled satellite WeatherCam in the United States, or for that matter, North America", said Ken Brechtel, President and CEO of Weather Forecast. It has been added to our rapidly expanding WeatherCam program available through AccuWeather and has performed very well. In addition, we recently received an order for 25 new locations, several of which will require a satellite connection."

C-Com Vice President of Sales, Mike Sangster added that, This is the beginning of a strategic partnership we announced sometime ago that offers to Weather Forecast and its commercial clients the ability to reach remote areas as well as locations where high speed access is not available."

This will deliver added value to AccuWeather iSight users," noted Dr. Joel N. Myers, AccuWeather founder and president. We know that iSight already adds an average of fifteen to twenty page views per user. This advance can only increase that number and the number of locations to which the iSight program can be extended to."

The WeatherCam is based at The Bar Harbor Inn overlooking Frenchman Bay in Bar Harbor, Maine. It cam be viewed through the AccuWeather iSight program and be found at:
