(PR Wires) PRW: Advants Public Internet Access to Install Stockwalk.com PRW: Advants Public Internet Access to Install Stockwalk.com Online Trading Centers in Northwest Airlines WorldClubs Investors Can Now Stay on Top of the Market While Traveling MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Advants Public Internet Access, a division of Choicetel Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: PHON), will install Stockwalk.com investment trading centers in Northwest Airlines WorldClubs. Last month, Advants and Stockwalk.com announced an agreement where Advants will provide public Internet access terminals in various public locations featuring free entry to the Stockwalk.com site. Advants, Inc. is building a nationwide network of public Internet access terminals and plans to install more than 30,000 terminals over the next three years in a variety of public locations that people utilize when they are not at home or at their office, including grocery stores, hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. "We believe WorldClubs members will find Stockwalk.com trading terminals a valuable amenity and another reason to spend time in the WorldClubs," said Randy Nitzsche, Chief Executive Officer of Stockwalk.com. "Members will be able to obtain real-time quotes, news stories, company research, and an opportunity to stay on top of the market when they are traveling. They can also open a Stockwalk.com account online and ultimately trade securities from these terminals." The Internet access terminals will be installed this spring in Northwest's Minneapolis, Detroit and Memphis hubs. Advants terminals are equipped with a computer, monitor and keyboard, and also include a dollar bill acceptor and credit card swipe, allowing users to initiate e-commerce transactions with either cash or credit. Twin Cities-based Advants, Inc. is a majority owned subsidiary of Choicetel Communications, Inc., which owns and operates approximately 2,000 pay telephones. Advants plans to install terminals nationally. /CONTACT: Gregory Johnson of Advants, Inc., 612-471-3448 x11, Matthew Kyler of Stockwalk.com Group, Inc., 612-542-3626, or Gail D.
