BROADBAND CENTRAL FINALIZES $17.5 MILLION SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT WITH ACCELERATED COMMUNICATIONS CORP. TO OPEN CALIFORNIA, GEORGIA AND TEXAS TO LOW-COST, HIGH-SPEED WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS

Initial deployment of 100 Blue Zones in each state planned with total deployment of 2,700 Blue Zones in all three states during 12-month period

DRAPER, Utah and LEHI, Utah - July 1, 2003 - Broadband Central, one of the largest providers of high-speed wireless Internet services in the western United States, today announced it has finalized a $17.5 million sponsorship agreement with Accelerated Communications Corporation (ACC) of Lehi, Utah, and will deploy Broadband Central Blue Zones (one-mile diameter exclusive coverage area) in California, Georgia and Texas.

Broadband Central works with sponsors in a profit-sharing agreement to deploy its Blue Zones and offer its affordable, high-speed wireless Internet access across the nation. The agreement stipulates an initial deployment of 100 Blue Zones in each of the three states with a total deployment of more than 2,700 Blue Zones in all three states over the next 12-months.

"After several months of research and due diligence, we've concluded that Broadband Central is well ahead of any wireless broadband Internet solution currently available," said Lynn Collins, president of ACC. "We are confident that combining Broadband Central's core technology competencies with ACC's marketing expertise, consumers will be the real winner. We are both intent upon getting quality, high-speed Internet service deployed to residents that are tired of waiting for other service providers."

Broadband Central also announced plans in May to launch its services in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington with a minimum of 100 Blue Zones deployed initially in each state. Following today's announcement, Broadband Central has commitments to deploy more than 3,700 Blue Zones in an 11-state area, giving the company a projected footprint of more than 3,700 miles of Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) coverage. As a result, Broadband Central is on track to become one of the largest wireless Internet service providers in the United States.

"We are very pleased with the rate at which we've been able to expand our coverage area," said Tali J. Haleua, chief executive officer of Broadband Central. "We developed our unique business model to subsidize the cost of infrastructure and facilitate a rapid deployment that will bring affordable broadband services to communities everywhere. With our expanded manufacturing capabilities, our focus is to complete a nationwide infrastructure deployment faster then any other broadband service provider. Our sponsorship agreement with ACC will allow us to open three important markets and move us closer to that end."

Each Blue Zone deployed by Broadband Central allows residents within a one-mile diameter area to connect wirelessly to the Internet at broadband speeds. To offer this service, Broadband Central deploys one of its proprietary 22-inch diameter 802.11 compliant Blue Zone sites, with each device utilizing three smart antennas and advanced radio transceivers developed and manufactured by the company. At each customer location, Broadband Central installs a corresponding eight-inch diameter antenna/client device on-site to provide "always on" high-speed Internet access.

"Broadband Central offers distinct advantages of lower prices and easier access," said Zane Holmberg, general manager of ACC. "In our experience of marketing wireless Internet services, there have always been challenges of charging large up-front costs for equipment or high monthly prices to amortize those costs. In spite of the high consumer demand for the service, line-of-site requirements of other providers have made much of the market inaccessible. Broadband Central's powerful advanced radios and signal propagation methodology eliminate both these problems."

Broadband Central's entry-level monthly price point for high-speed Internet access is $19.95 for synchronous connectivity at 128 Kilobits per second (Kbps). At up to 10 times the speed of the actual throughput of dialup connections, this is comparable to ISDN speeds (Integrated Services Digital Network), but dramatically lower in cost than ISDN. For $29.95 per month, subscribers can double their connection speed to 256Kbps, comparable to DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) speeds. At $39.95 per month, a subscriber can get cable modem speeds of 512Kbps, while a $59.95 per month subscription will allow residential connection speeds up to 1 Megabit per second or more. (Note: Typical high-speed broadband services start at $50 per month and higher.)
