"BIZPAY” KEEPS YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION PRIVATE

(PRWEB) November 4, 2000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 October 28, 2000 - Boca Raton, FL - Mark Hamill, star of Star Wars, hosts another upcoming episode of the “.com” series, scheduled to air as paid programming on CNBC, Saturday November 4th at Noon Eastern Time. Now in its fifth season, “.com” explores the latest technological innovations and the rapidly evolving Internet landscape.

 The program includes a special report entitled, Internet Payment Solutions, which discovers a new option for online payment – announced Patty Elliot, Co-Executive Producer of the series.

Until now, credit cards have been the preferred means for making purchases online. The dilemma for most people is security issues, which are making many reluctant to give their private account information to online merchants. Today, thanks to a new website located at MyBizPay. com, privacy and account security may once again reign supreme on the Internet. It's called BizPay, and with this system you can pay any participating merchant or any individual who has an e-mail address at any time, from anywhere.

“One of the key advantages of BizPay is that anyone with an email address can send and receive payments,” said Ron Godfrey, Executive Producer of the series. “And since the World Wide Web is truly global, the future of BizPay will allow payments to anyone, anywhere in the world and the proper currency will be transferred.”

 In addition to national broadcast on “.com,” the special report will be reformatted and distributed via satellite as a Video News Release to over 750 domestic television stations. Like all of TVIÂ’s productions, the story is available for viewing on the Internet.

 The “.com” viewer site, www. tvi. net, allows visitors to Internet Payment Solutions and other stories in their entirety, on-demand and in full motion video, after the program has aired. From the site, visitors access information through links to many outstanding educational resources on the Web.

 Hamill regularly anchors the “.com” series, which is produced and paid for by TV Interactive, a highly acclaimed independent producer of original programming and a pioneer in Web broadcasting. Based in Boca Raton, Florida, TV InteractiveÂ’s other productions include; “Healthy Solutions” with Emmy-winner, Mariette Hartley, “Women in Charge” with Nancy Glass, and “First Priority” with Hunter Tylo.
