BUDAPEST, HUNGARY 10/09/06 -- Power of the Dream Ventures (PDV), Hungary's premiere technology acquisition company is pleased to announce that Boston Globe technology writer Mark Baard discusses the TothTelescope in his daily column, both on the internet and the print edition of the newspaper.

"This is very exciting. In a very short amount of time we have been able to take an idea, complete its engineering, build a prototype and then arrange for volume production. In the first month we generated five sales through the e-commerce site, a huge feat when we consider that there have been no advertising to back to product and that we are selling a specialized optical instrument. Our immediate goal is to begin global advertising and complete the commercialization process after our initial public offering. In the interim, I would encourage anyone to visit the website and enjoy the astounding examples of the telescope’s resolution and clarity”, commented Viktor Rozsnyay, President of the Company.

In the past sixty days the company has signed four international distributors for the product, two from the US, one from Mexico and one from the European Union. The company expects additional distribution agreements as we continue the launch of the product.

The TothTelescope will continue to be available through its dedicated e-commerce website located at http://www.tothtelescope.com
