Meint der Politfritze mit "digital inclusion" und "accessible

er sich wieder bei der Praktikantin rumtreibt, und ihm fern-

( BW)(FL-APPLIED-DIGITAL)(ADSX) Secretary of  
Commerce, Norman Y. Mineta to Attend October 30th Digital  
Angel Event in New York City 
 
Business Editors/High Tech Writers  
 
PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2000-- 
Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSX), a leading,  
single-source provider of e-business solutions, today  
announced that Secretary of Commerce Norman Y. Mineta  
has agreed to attend its demonstration of Digital Angel(TM),  
to be held on October 30th in New York City. Those  
attending the event will witness a Digital Angel breakthrough:  
the first-ever operational combination of sensor technology  
and Web-enabled wireless telecommunications linked to  
GPS location-tracking systems. "We're extremely pleased  
that Secretary Mineta will attend our Digital Angel  
demonstration," said Richard J. Sullivan, Chairman & CEO of  
Applied Digital Solutions. "Secretary Mineta has been a  
champion of `digital inclusion' -- making access to digital  
technologies more widely accessible to all segments of  
society. He has been an advocate of creating viable  
partnerships between the public and private sectors as part of  
a national digital inclusion campaign. We believe our Digital  
Angel technology has enormous potential along these lines.  
In fact, Digital Angel represents an exciting `new frontier' in  
the digital revolution because it offers so many potentially life- 
saving capabilities." Secretary Mineta, a former  
Congressman from California, became the 33rd Secretary of  
Commerce this past summer. He has pledged to work toward  
"digital inclusion" for all Americans and to ensure an  
accessible and accountable government. Secretary Mineta  
oversees a department of 40,000 people with a $5 billion  
budget that promotes commerce, keeps a vast array of  
economic statistics, conducts the census, issues patents  
and trademarks, and develops technology, measurements  
and standards. 
 
Background on Digital Angel(TM) In December of 1999,  
Applied Digital Solutions announced that it had acquired the  
patent rights to a miniature digital transceiver -- which it has  
named Digital Angel. Digital Angel will be able to send and  
receive data and be located by GPS (Global Positioning  
System) technology. The company believes this technology  
will enable it to tap into a multi-billion marketplace with a  
number of applications that will prove to be extremely  
popular. These potential applications include: monitoring the  
medical condition of at-risk patients; tracking endangered  
wildlife or household pets; managing livestock and other farm- 
related animals; pinpointing the location of valuable stolen  
property; finding lost airline baggage and postal packages;  
managing the commodity supply chain; preventing the  
unauthorized use of firearms; and providing a tamper-proof  
means of identification for enhanced e-commerce security.
