Business Plan Executive Summary For many years there has been much talk about the ubiquity and necessity for wireless-based communications and services. To date, much of that talk has turned out to be hype or empty promises. The primary reason is that, so far, no ‘killer applications’ other than talk itself has emerged for the various wireless platforms (e.g., PDA, basic cell phones, WAP Phones, 3G Phones, Personal Pagers).The wireless service providers are discovering, much like the Dot Com’s before them, that it is not so much the pipe or technology which matters, but rather it is all about the EXPERIENCE! Customer acquisition-retention rates and usage growth is directly tied to the content and services which are provided down the pipe.To date, the physical limits and cost of bandwidth plus the absence of compelling content have not been overcome. Nor has a successful business model emerged for the Wireless Media Industry.3DCS believes that is has an approach to overcome these obstacles through the delivery of unique, three dimensional content and objects. 3DCS will be the model for the new wireless media industry. It will combine content acquisition-management-productions with web technology services to deliver content to wireless subscribers and hand-held devices throughout the world.3DCS proposes to develop a content acquisition-management solution to address the lack of compelling content for the wireless user. This solution will also address providing the underlying technology used to deliver 3D content to the all hand-held, wireless devices. Our solution, while targeted at 3G phones will also work for current generation (i.e., 2G) cell phones and PDA’s.From a technology perspective, 3DCS currently has an agreement with 3D4W, a Santa Clara, CA company, to provide exclusive content for a G3 graphics platform developed by 3D4W for wireless phones. Currently, 3D4W’s platform has been purchased and is available in a beta offering in South Korea by XXXXX. 3D4W expects to quickly conclude licensing deals with both a Japanese and an American wireless service provider by year’s end. In addition, 3D4W is a 30% stakeholder in 3DCS.3DCS also has a technology use agreement with 3DCT, a Tempe, AZ company which offers a engineering-based technology which can compress 3D video, CAD-CAM and other images, with no data loss, up to 98% of its original size. 3DCS has the right to sell / license this technology as well as incorporate it into its own technology platform.Together, these two technologies will allow for rich, 3D images and other content to be provided, and specifically targeted, to wireless users globally.3DCS also has a content development agreement with Anvil Studios, whose credits include Anastasia and other anime feature length movies. This agreement will provide an initial a stable of 3d images and avatars. In addition, 3D4W is a 10% stakeholder in 3DCS.3DCS also intends to license images, avatars and other 3D content from globally recognized entertainment, news, sports, media and other companies for resale to all wireless service providers. We believe that this content can be acquired via a modest upfront payment and a back-end revenue share approach.3DCS also may seek to develop its own unique content for sale to the wireless service providers if this is required to help ‘seed the market’ and spur adoption of 3D wireless content.Lastly, 3DCS plans to develop and operate a content management service based upon the Web Managed Services (WMS) model. This model entails 3DCS building a central host facility wherein all acquired content will reside. As needed, compressed content will be distributed to servers-disk farms owned by the wireless service provider in the requisite service area for eventual download-display to the end wireless user. 3DCS will generate revenues through a service subscription model targeted at the end wireless user. This monthly fee per type of content desired will be charged (and collected) by the wireless service provider. In addition, 3DCS will create revenue streams through licensing and/or sales of its unique compression technology and platforms to Content Producers, Telco’s and other users of 3D graphical images. The wireless service providers will see increased revenue through more (and longer duration) air time charges and will allow them to more effectively compete with other providers in the wireless space by offering unique and different content.3DCS is seeking a first round investment of $2mm, with a projected post-money valuation of $8mm. The investment will fund an expanded workforce, sales & marketing expenses and wireless content acquisition-production. Additional use of funds may be to acquire-purchase companies in the 2D and 3D compression space.Please direct any questions or expressions of interest to:Gregory T.
