A little CS NEWS Former White House Telecom Advisor Joins SiteLine Board; Appointment To Help Drive SiteLine's Rapid Growth as High-Speed Internet Access Provider CHICAGO, Dec 16, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SiteLine, a leading national provider of in-building high-speed data communications services for small- and medium-sized businesses, announced today it has appointed Kathleen M.H. Wallman to its Board of Directors. Having served in a number of key White House advisory and FCC positions, Wallman brings exceptional domestic and international telecommunications expertise to SiteLine. At the White House, Wallman served as Deputy Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Chief of Staff of the National Economic Council. In that capacity she provided counsel to the Administration on a broad range of telecommunications issues, including cable, broadcast, satellite, wireless and wireline matters. Prior to joining the National Economic Council, Wallman was Deputy Counsel to President Bill Clinton in the Office of the White House Counsel. She left the White House in 1997 to start Wallman Strategic Consulting, LLC, where she serves as president and CEO. Wallman began her government service career at the Federal Communications Commission serving as Deputy Chief of the Cable Services Bureau, and was later promoted to Chief of the Common Carrier Bureau. Wallman was the senior staff authority on the country's telecommunications policy including long distance and local competition, service to rural areas and interconnection of wireless and wireline networks. Wallman additionally was appointed by FCC Chairman William Kennard in January 1999 to chair the National Coordinating Committee on public safety spectrum. "Kathleen's vast telecommunications expertise and industry insight will be invaluable to SiteLine as the company moves into new markets across the country and internationally," said Lawrence Tanenbaum, SiteLine's Chairman. "We are very pleased that SiteLine was able to attract a board member of such distinction to help us move forward on our aggressive expansion strategies," said Tanenbaum. SiteLine delivers its high-speed, in-building Internet service under its AccessReady brand.

DSL technology is revolutionizing $100 billion dollars of existing copper plant in the US and will provide these same benefits to the in-building market," said Kathleen M.H. Wallman. "As a new board member, I look forward to helping SiteLine achieve status as the industry leader in this emerging market," said Wallman.
