Fox Media Lab

UBZ2 Expanded Summary

UBZ2 Overview
UGC, Social Networking & Streaming
UBZ2.COM was conceived and developed by Fox Media Lab. Its objective is to be the definitive “Home of Schedules” on the Internet. It is comprised on 31 autonomous portals trafficking Sports and Activities interests. These Portals have over 300 Premium Direct Access Search-able Domains bolstering its myriad of native search rankings. They are all linked to the UBZ2.COM gateway portal or front door bringing them together as a brand. A UBZ2.COM Portal a member may manage all aspects of a team in their sport or activity of interest, by creating a community that is able to self-publish through User Generated Content.

UBZ2 – Meshed Portal
UBZ2 is a “Meshed” communications portal. Due to the initial free access and use of UBZ2, exponentially membership growth is likely.

While many sites have sports schedules and some with TV schedules, no group has secured the status of scheduling source on the Internet. UBZ2 is attempting to become that source for those wishing to uncomplicated their lives. UBZ2’s strong portfolio is essential for this to be possible. The esoteric UBZ2 name provides excellent search-ability on the Internet. Support through their domain name portfolio provides relevant “schedules” traffic as well as creating protection in the future from trademark infringements.

UBZ2 is the traffic cop for a network of Sports and Activity Scheduling Portals ushering first –time traffic to their area of interest. On becoming a member, one can enter their own practice and game schedules, enter team stats, score results etc., get easy directions to playing fields or activity locations, provide protected contact numbers and email lists, get relevant information on their team sport or activity, blog, create and contribute to forums, get news on activity, buy, swap or sell good activity products through classified ads, input select supporting businesses into the UBZ2 Business Directory, create and vote on polls, create and view newsletters. It has something for every sport or activity member.

The level and degree of sports or activity detail is only limited by the groups’ commitment to sharing information. There are various levels of permissions that are assigned by UBZ2 Admin. Coaches and league/activity managers have a higher level of “Publishing” ability. All the available functions provide by UBZ2 are self-publishing, so it can have that team or groups specific information. A UBZ2 member will be able to see Pro and Amateur Schedules in a more comprehensive way than ever seen on the Internet. (This comes at no small expense).

We have incorporated the great cost of providing the most comprehensive schedules information into the first 18-24 month budget. This schedules resource will provide schedules in greater depth than breath of any know site, including ESPN, CBS, etc.

If a UBZ2 member wants to become a regular contributor, they can go to http://www.contentperson.com or http://www.sitewatchdog.info for more information regarding how they can become an integral element in building up the activity content. These will be volunteers with perks. Below are the 13 sample Team and Sports Portals, in addition to UBZ2.COM core Portal.

1. BASEBALLSCHEDULES.ORG
2. BASKETBALLSCHEDULES.NET
3. VOLLEYBALLSCHEDULES.COM
4. TENNISSCHEDULES.COM
5. SOCCERSCHEDULES.INFO
6. SWIMMINGSCHEDULES.COM
7. WRESTLTINGSCHEDULES.NET
8. LACROSSESCHEDULES.COM
9. BOWLINGSCHEDULES.COM
10. FOOTBALLSCHEDULES.NET
11. GOLFSCHEDULES.NET
12. HOCKEYSCHEDULES.NET
13. TRACKSCHEDULES.COM

There are another 15 portals live as well as another ~300 relevant schedule sites planned like BUSINESSSCHEDULES.COM, TOWNSCHEDULES.COM, and FAMILYSCHEDULES.COM. (A complete List can be found at PR.COM). These will be launched later but are used for Traffic Aggregation during development. These URLs are driving significant traffic without content even being launched.

Our inherent traffic is a critical reason for Fox Media Lab to incubate the development of these ”Schedules” launches through UBZ2.COM; it can have revenue even during launch and rollout phases.

AFFILIATES (Revenue Stream #1)
UBZ2 will sell product directly, with our own eCommerce. It also means setting up channels with product suppliers. In order to expeditiously set up our network of meshed portals we have deferred this essential and costly function until funding is obtained. In place during this development phase are relevant affiliates.

This affiliates pay on a click-through basis, and/or a percentage of sales. Although we will always reserve a portion of the UBZ2 exposure available to this mode, it will eventually will play a diminishing role. Relevant Affiliates in the future will be negotiated directly with the product and service providers, not through “Affiliate” aggregation type services, i.e. Link Share and Commission Junction. The affiliates realize the attractive nature of UBZ2.COM by seeing its Internet real estate or Domain portfolio. Key affiliates will also provide product for direct sales and easy exchange through retail. See some of our affiliates now by going to different UBZ2.COM pages or refreshing connection.


PARTNERS (Revenue Stream #2)
Our partners provide products or services bases on rev share. Our first is an UBZ2.COM enhancement by the communications technology company YouSpeak. Find out more about them here: http://www.youspeak.net/ You Speak has proprietary technology that enables a UBZ2 member to call from any phone, record a message and then have that message dropped to any URL, as an audio tag.

UBZ2 is branding/marketing their technology as “Coaches Announcement”. It is an instant notification device for a coach or team manager to relay import information directly to their UBZ2 web site (Team/League) location. This is a godsend for parent wanting know about last minute cancellations, field changes, etc. Coaches Announcement is used to immediately post an audio message that the coach desires. And it ends up right on the teams’ page. The coach may update this as many times as he wants. YouSpeak provides turnkey management of UBZ2 Coaches Announcement, including ordering and credit card processing. Go here to see it in action: http://ubz2.webportalasp.com/index.cfm

ADVERTISERS AND SPONSORS (Revenue Stream #3)
The DynaPortal Software that UBZ2 has an enterprise license for, is very comprehensive and has the ability to internally contract, schedule, and track advertising that is carried on it. It also has an audit function to see aggregations for payment and contract purposes. Obviously we will encourage and sell packages for exclusivity within a give market. In other words there will only be one “Sports Store”, one Camping store, etc. There is many different ways beyond banners and click-through that UBZ2 can package for exciting and desirable offering.

DIRECT RESPONSE STREAMS (Revenue Stream #4)
UBZ2 will provide relevant product for each Sports & Activity Portal. Our immediate focus with is on “bulk buys” whereby any team or group could get vertical category items like uniforms, or equipment in large “deep discounted” orders. We will also supplant these with traditional DRTV type options that are in best keeping with UBZ2’s product standards and price offerings to their Members.

Special Projects
FAMILYSCHEDULES.COM and TOWNSCHEDULES.COM
These are two sites that we are very excited about, and the reason we are speaking to companies that provide very powerful time & process management software currently in use by business. With very strong scheduling capabilities UBZ2 have focused on these two Portals as two of the highest demand and highest ceiling of use ergo profits.

We have other “NON” sports and activity portals planned that have differing or more complex deployment parameters. For instance FAMILYSCHEDULES.COM will utilize all of the DynaPortal self-publishing Portlets for User Generated Content, but require specific programs, data and purposes that will be customized. Family Shared Scheduling or Process Management will be provided for the first time for personal use. By doing so UBZ2 enables entire extended families to share information with each other in a proficient and economical way. These families could be real and actual or virtual.

LIFE SCHEDULES
UBZ2 has many schedule sites planned for regularly searched items like TRANSPORTATIONSCHEDULES.COM, and TIDESCHEDULES.COM, TELEVISIONSCHEDULES.COM, etc. that enhances and creates depth to the “schedules” offering.

SUPPORTING SITES
Sites like RuleBooks.US and GoverningBodies.US provide a resource for localize sports and activity information and traffic support for UBZ2. We have many varied sites for this ancillary support. Request a domain asset list and live site traffic report.

FUNDING & FINANCES
Fox Media Lab has invested ~$300K for the incubation of UBZ2.COM over the last 2.5 years. Using a Lab axiom of leveraging incubations with its acquired assets, we offer UBZ2 for funding or purchase for a period of ~2 moths. In the event UBZ2 does not transact or is funded for rollout, it will divest these assets that include its Enterprise Portal Software License, customization and extensive domain portfolio at wholesale.

Seeking $5MM for 18-20 Month launch and rollout, self-funded there after. This amount may be adjusted with fiscal reasoning contributed by equity and funding groups. Officers or core personnel may or may not be provided depending on funding source requirements.

UBZ2.COM is being offered til the 20th of June 2007. Please future incubation offers here: http://www.pr.com/company-profile/investment-highlights/6077
