AOL Inks Slew of Wireless Communications Pacts

Leading Internet service provider America Online today said it had struck a half-dozen
agreements with major players in the wireless communications arena, furthering its
effort to liberate its Web services from the tether of telephone lines.

AOL, which is buying media giant Time Warner, said its new wireless partners
include cellular phone makers Motorola and Finland's Nokia Corp.; wireless device
maker Research in Motion Ltd. of Canada; wireless service providers Sprint PCS and
BellSouth; and paging services company Arch Communications Inc.

The agreements are part of AOL's ``AOL Anywhere" strategy, and will allow its 21
million members and millions of others to use mobile devices to access AOL e-mail,
instant messaging and several other of AOL's services, such as news, financial
information, movie information and driving directions, the Reuters news agency
reported.

AOL Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Steve Case said: "Today's wireless
announcements are a major step forward for the AOL Anywhere strategy -- allowing
consumers to be connected anywhere any time with the ease that they have become
accustomed to with the AOL service on a PC."

``There's no question that we're on the eve of an explosion in consumers' move to
wireless and how they use interactive devices," Case said. ``Our goal is to ensure
that this wireless revolution will be both easy and accessible for our 21 million
members, plus the tens of millions of consumers that use of our Web brands and
millions of other consumers accessing the Internet via the wireless platform."
