Public Media Works, Inc. (OTCBB: PUBM), operating under the
consumer brand Spot. The difference™, announced today that it has
successfully completed the operational test of their first 25
kiosks at high traffic outdoor locations in Riverside County,
California, and are now preparing for their next round of
deployments.
Launched in mid-March, the initial deployment of 25 outdoor
kiosks marked several industry firsts in the rapidly growing
entertainment kiosk space, including parity pricing for DVD and
Blu-Ray discs, and discounts for customers who rent more than one
disc at a time. The company, along with their kiosk supplier, has
spent the last 60 days rigorously testing and de-bugging the state
of the art technology.
"We took a bold but calculated risk launching the next
generation of entertainment kiosks," remarked Greg Waring,
President and Chief Operating Officer of Public Media Works. "Our
kiosk technology is 5 years ahead of anything in the market, and as
such we took the necessary time to ensure we worked out every
possible kink." Based on the learning gathered over the last 60
days, the company has made the necessary modifications to the
existing hardware and software, while quickly preparing the next
set of locations for deployment. In addition, several upgrades to
the customer solution are in development that will further
reinforce Spot's leadership position.

a full listing of locations and registration for weekly customer
e-mails.
