BATON ROUGE, La., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet Media Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: USRF) announced today that it had placed its first
Wireless Internet customer on-line in Santa Fe, NM, thereby making history.
USRF's Santa Fe customer can, for the first time in the State of New Mexico,
access the Internet at ISDN-equivalent speed. Except for the USRF Wireless
Internet service, there is no ISDN Internet service available for individual
access in that State.
"We are very excited to launch our Wireless Internet Service Provider
(ISP) in Santa Fe, because we can now offer a much demanded service that, at
least in New Mexico, U S West (NYSE: USW) simply does not offer, that is,
ISDN-equivalent-speed access to the Internet," said David Loflin, USRF's
President. "Our first customer is very pleased -- the customer was able to
discontinue use of its dedicated telephone line and its associated cost,
and install our Wireless Internet system, which ties directly into our
Internet pipeline. Much of the delay in traditional wire-based Internet
access methods occurs between the customer and the ISP's server, and our
wireless system completely bypasses that congestion," added Mr. Loflin.
"When I first saw the reaction of Santa Fe ISP veterans to our Wireless
Internet system, I became more certain that our wireless service would be very
popular in Santa Fe. The businesses that we have talked to can't wait to get
ISDN, or even T-1, access speed to the Internet, without having to call the
phone company. As our marketing takes hold there, based on our conversations
around Santa Fe, we are anticipating a great response from customers."
David Loflin reiterated that, since there is no ISDN service to
individuals anywhere in the State of New Mexico, USRF expected that its
Wireless Internet service would be even more attractive to customers.
"Internet Media can and will fill the ISDN void by providing ISDN, or faster,
equivalent speed though its Wireless Internet system. Internet Media is now
in position to meet the demand for ISDN-equivalent speed in the Santa
Fe area immediately and in other New Mexico cities in a step-by-step
fashion as we continue our expansion plans over the next few years. Santa Fe
now has its first '21st-Century ISP' -- one that is wireless, dependable,
cost-effective and fast," concluded Mr. Loflin.
USRF's technology is completely non-reliant on a hard-wire telephone line
or cellular telephone system. It enables constant and mobile access to the
Internet from any PC or laptop within a particular Wireless Internet
transmission area, at speeds ranging from two to 10 times faster than
normal dial-up access.
