BellSouth's Wireless Broadband Service Now Available in Palatka, Fla.

BellSouth (NYSE: BLS) announced today
that its wireless broadband service is now available in Palatka, Fla.
Qualified residential and business customers can sign up for BellSouth(R)
FastAccess(R) Internet Service, powered by wireless broadband technology, for
as low as $29.95 per month, depending on the speed selected and if combined
with BellSouth local service.
BellSouth's wireless broadband service offers customers high-speed
Internet access, with downstream speeds up to 1.5Mbps and no phone line
needed. The system transmits signals between local radio towers and a small
non-line-of-sight desktop subscriber modem that plugs into a desktop or laptop
computer, or a local router.
"Palatka was an obvious choice for BellSouth to offer this exciting
technology," said Marshall Criser, state president of BellSouth Florida.
"Providing wireless broadband service to rural communities such as Palatka
aids our efforts to continuously extend the reach of our broadband service."
In August, BellSouth deployed wireless broadband service in Athens, Ga.,
to meet the needs of a diverse and younger population, including college
students. The company has been testing wireless broadband since 2000. Most
recently, BellSouth conducted technical trials in Palatka and Daytona, Fla. As
previously announced, BellSouth will offer wireless broadband in select cities
later this year.
