SafeMedia Corp. Praises the Australian Government’s Efforts to "Improve the safety of the internet"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 20, 2007 -- Boca Raton, Fla. & Hollywood, Calif. – SafeMedia Corporation, based in Boca Raton, Fl., is praising an Australian government move toward installing ISP-level internet filtering technology as part of the federal Government's NetAlert package.

Australian Communications Minister Senator Helen Coonan recently announced a $189 million package of measures to improve the safety of using the internet, and for a federal police crackdown on predators and national security threats. The package included $84.8 million to provide individual households with either internet filtering software packages or pre-filtered internet connections from an internet service provider.

“We applaud the Australian federal Police, who plan to track down online predators and national security threats, and to provide households with either Internet filtering software packages or pre-filtered Internet connections from an Internet service provider,” said President/COO Pasquale Giordano, SafeMedia Corp. “We have the technology that addresses the government’s plan to provide individual households or ISPs with a cost effective, zero maintenance solution that eliminates the complex threats of contaminated (illegal) P2P networks, the major source of Internet piracy, viruses, malware, spyware and identity theft.

The Australian government's NetAlert agency research revealed that it had showed server-level filtering introduced a major load on service provider systems. "All server-level filters tested had a major impact on network performance, ranging from 18 per cent degradation for the best performing filter to 78 per cent for the worst performing," Senator Coonan's office reported.

SafeMedia’s technology is embedded in DSL and Cable modems in the home or work environment or as a subnet appliance, not on the ISP’s backbone. This architecture eliminates any network latency and eliminates bandwidth consumption at a subnet level associated with contaminated P2P networks. The end result is a safer, faster Internet experience for all users and a network that consumes less bandwidth, explained Giordano.

The P2P Disaggregator technology drops all contaminated P2P traffic, encrypted and non-encrypted, before they reach the user while allowing legitimate P2P and all other Internet traffic to pass freely with no latency. In addition, SafeMedia’s solution does not require users to install anything on their computers to be protected.

SafeMedia solutions are the only solution that can insure complete elimination of all the complex threats of contaminated P2P networks and SafeMedia guarantees the solution will eliminate unauthorized copyright infringement from P2P networks.
