Data Broadcasting Corporation's eSignal and Phone.com's MyPhone Service Allow Mobile Users Access to Financial Data

Data Broadcasting Corporation (Nasdaq:DBCC), America's leading provider of real-time financial market data to traders and individual investors, and Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:PHCM), a leading provider of software and services that enable the delivery of Internet-based content to mass-market wireless phones, today announced that Data Broadcasting Corporation (DBC) will supply eSignal's™ market quotes to the Phone.com™ MyPhone™ Service, a platform that enables wireless network operators to create branded portal sites.

The integration of eSignal's financial information into the MyPhone platform allows mobile phone users to receive instant financial market data and market quotes-all from the screen of their phone.

MyPhone is a mobile portal platform enabling network operators to rapidly enter the Internet economy by offering their own branded portal sites for wireless subscribers. The MyPhone service includes a robust set of mobility-centric information services and applications for both PCs and microbrowser-capable wireless phones. MyPhone provides the carrier with a framework for aggregation, presentation, personalization, and delivery of Internet based content and wireless-network integrated applications.

"The addition of DBC's content to the MyPhone service creates considerable subscriber value," said Ben Linder, vice president of marketing for Phone.com. "Stock quotes and financial information are very popular applications and the ability to access information from the phone gives individual investors more control over their investments."

"We're excited to provide eSignal's market-leading quotes to Phone.com," said Mark Imperiale, president of DBC. "As more and more individuals take increased control of their investing, it's essential that they also have access to timely, accurate market data - anywhere, anytime on any device."

DBC's experience in establishing and managing direct connections to the exchanges can be seen in the speed and reliability of the financial information and market quotes it provides to customers. Over the years, this information has been provided through a number of technologies from FM and satellite to high-speed Internet. This experience is expected to make DBC a valuable partner in helping Phone.com strengthen its service by providing the reliable financial content it needs to satisfy customers' demands for current information and complete services.
