BATON ROUGE, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 29, 1998--Internet Media Corporation
(OTC BB: USRF - news; pronounced you surf) announced today that it has
implemented its recently announced wireless T-1 equivalent Internet access to
the Santa Fe, N.M. market. USRF's technology will provide business customers
high-speed wireless Internet access at burstable T1 equivalent speeds (1.54
Mbs) for about 40% below the prevailing market price in Santa Fe for the
popular T1 corporate line. The price will include all related charges.
``Our breakthrough technology allows us to offer high-speed Internet access at
breakthrough pricing,'' said Internet Media President David Loflin. ``Until
now, most small business customers in Santa Fe have been priced out of the
market for T1 speed and capacity; now these customers are priced in, and can
obtain access from our wireless ISP in Santa Fe, instead of from other
hard-wire based ISPs or the telephone company.'' Loflin stated further that
Internet Media's technology will permit it to offer wireless T1-equivalent
access to Santa Fe business customers for $699 per month.
``Our wireless Internet system and its speed also make it easier to access
search engines, browsers and Web destinations such as Microsoft , Netscape
Communications , Yahoo , E*** , Amazon.com , eBay , Lycos and Earthlink
Network ,'' Loflin added.
In addition, USRF's technology will allow it to offer high-speed wireless
ISDN-line equivalent speed (124 kbs) to business and residential Internet users
in Santa Fe at about 60% below the current market price for similar access in
Santa Fe. Internet Media's technology also provides several compelling
advantages over existing Internet service. It is completely non-reliant on a
hard-wire or cellular telephone system, requires no FCC license, and provides
constant Internet access from any computer -- stationary or mobile -- within
the company's transmission area. The technology employs a two-way modem,
developed by the company, which costs about $350. Internet Media plans to
launch its low-cost service no later than March 1999 in Santa Fe, N.M.
Sounds neat depending on what they charge for
monthly access. Especially for laptops. I wonder if they have any
plans for faster home access. 124 kbps isn't too hot compared
to DSL or cable. Anyway, I think it would be neat to get everything
wireless.
