MANCHESTER, N.H. — QED Connect, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: QEDN), an innovative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for the information security market, today announced it will introduce an Educational Program with a special price structure to support those partners who sell into the education sector, making it easier for education organizations to comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act 2000 (CIPA).

CIPA addresses concerns about access to offensive content over the Internet on school and library computers. CIPA imposes requirements including internet safety policies and technology protection measures, Internet blocking and filtering for all computers accessed by minors on any school or library that receives funding support for Internet access or internal connections from the “E-rate” program.

While the Company continues to be adversely affected by the current economic conditions which have impacted adversely almost all companies in its sector, QED Management believes that this program will expand the Company’s market share by enhancing its portfolio of partner friendly products. Continued slowdowns could adversely affect the Company’s ability to increase revenues. The program will be available this summer to support the fall semester.
