Costa Crociere to Add Interactive Television System on Newest Vessel
Contracts with Allin Corporation for ITV System on Concordia

Tuesday, May 23, 2006

For Immediate Release

 

Pittsburgh, PA:  Allin Corporation (OTCBB: ALLN) announced that it has contracted with Costa Crociere to implement an interactive television system on the new 112,000-ton Costa Concordia, which is scheduled to sail in July 2006.  Costa Crociere is part of Carnival Corporation & plc, a multi-line cruise conglomerate. The contracted implementation for the Costa Concordia, coupled with other existing interactive television systems for Carnival-affiliated companies, will take the number of Carnival Corporation & plc vessels installed with Allin interactive television solutions to fifteen.  Across all cruise lines, Allin has a total of thirty-four shipboard interactive television systems in operation or under contract.  This order was previously disclosed in the Company’s year-end earnings release.

              The interactive television solutions will use the latest in Web technology to provide Costa’s guests the convenience of using their in-stateroom TV sets to access a variety of electronic commerce services such as previewing shore excursions, watching on-demand movies and informational videos, ordering room service, and reviewing their folio accounts and shipboard activities.  The Allin solution will interface with the vessel’s hotel management system to allow direct billing to guest accounts for E-commerce transactions processed through the interactive television system.

              “We are very pleased that Costa Crociere has selected Allin to continue with the deployment on their newest vessel, Costa Concordia,” commented Rich Talarico, Allin’s CEO.  “With this contract, since May of 2003, every new Costa Crociere vessel will have entered service with an interactive television solution implemented by Allin.  We are the only provider of interactive television technology able to offer a thin-client, a thick-client or hybrid system to our cruise line clients.  This broad base of solution offerings, coupled with our unrivaled experience in the cruise industry and our tremendous support infrastructure, are the reasons that we continue to be the leader in providing interactive television technology to this marketplace. ”
