New York Joins Los Angeles and Growing List of Cities That Offer Commuters Free Mobile Traffic Advisory Service

NEW YORK - July 9, 2008: 3rd Dimension, Inc.'s Mobileyes platform powers the new NBC New York Traffic Cam, a free mobile traffic advisory service.

The service will give mobile phone users in and around New York City up- to-the-second traffic information and live video from more than 400 roadside cameras on the area's highways, parkways and city streets. The NBC New York Traffic Cam is designed to help millions of daily commuters plan their drives and avoid gridlock right on their mobile devices before leaving home, office or school.

"New York was our pilot market and we have been providing commuters in the tri-state area with live traffic on their mobile phones for two years," said Eric Joseph, president, 3rd Dimension. "However, the re-branded Mobileyes, mobile content platform powering WNBC's service will bring an added level of value to drivers and includes some new features like automatic updates and click-to-TEXT advertisements. Full iPhone support is anticipated for early August."

To download the application, users simply visit www.wnbc.com/tcam or call 1-888-NBC-TCAM (1-888-622-8226). Users enter their cell phone numbers to receive a text message with a link, which they click to receive the application. Users select roadside cameras from a simple, easy to use menu. Speed keys can also be designated on a mobile device for frequently visited locations.

The service is compatible with data-enabled phones on the Verizon Wireless, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile networks, as well as on BlackBerry, Palm Treo and Windows Mobile smart phones.

*Note: The service is free of charge to cell phone subscribers with unlimited data plans on any network.
