Hey everybody. Do you think this announcement will move ISPD 2 points tomorrow the way that Friday's announcement moved it today? Monday November 8, 3:50 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Interspeed, Inc. BridgeBand Communications Selects Interspeed DSL Access Router Family for Deployment in the Northern U.S. Montana-Based CLEC Cites Superior Integration and Ease of Use of Single Box Architecture; Says Only Interspeed Could Support Aggressive Roll Out Plans NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Interspeed, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISPD - news) today announced that BridgeBand Communications, Inc. has selected the Interspeed 1000, Interspeed 500, and Interspeed DART Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Access Routers (DSLARs) to deliver high-speed Internet access over DSL services throughout Montana and Idaho. BridgeBand, a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) based in Bozeman, Montana, is co-locating the System 1000 in U.S. West central offices to provide high-speed Internet services to businesses in cities with populations of less than 200,000. BridgeBand is deploying the Interspeed 500 to deliver high-speed Internet services to smaller towns and suburbs, and is utilizing the Interspeed DART in a variety of Multi-Tenant Unit (MTU) applications. According to BridgeBand, they chose Interspeed's single box product family because of its superior integration, as well as its ease of deployment and manageability. Because of BridgeBand's aggressive deployment plans, another critical factor is the first-class service and support provided by Interspeed. ``Since our primary service is offering high-speed Internet access to businesses and small/home offices, we needed to select a DSL equipment vendor that can help us make our services successful,' said Joe Long, president of BridgeBand. ``After evaluating every major equipment provider, we found that Interspeed was the only vendor that offers integrated, single-box solutions that can be easily deployed and managed, as well as high-quality technical support to address our needs. The architecture of Interspeed DSLARs is robust and allows us to get the most out of our equipment. As a result, we did not have to purchase overbuilt systems with features we would never use.' ``The DSL industry continues to provide a wealth of opportunity for CLECs who are looking to expand their services,' said Steve Ide, president of Interspeed. ``The Interspeed DSLAR family contains the industry's first products that incorporate complete routing and switching capabilities in a single device, allowing ISPs and CLECs to meet the demand for high-speed Internet access at the lowest cost possible. BridgeBand has been aggressively growing its customer base by bringing DSL services to smaller cities and campuses. Interspeed looks forward to developing its relationship with BridgeBand as it expands its DSL offerings to advanced applications like voice and video.'
