Their annual report cost a ton too. Artistically, that was one of the best reports I've seen, too bad the bottom line was so ugly.

EarthLink Named Official Internet Partner for Sprint's New Wireless Broadband Service ================================================================ ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 22, 2000-- EarthLink Will Provide Award-Winning Internet Services to All Sprint Broadband Direct(SM) Customers EarthLink (NASDAQ:ELNK) today announced it will provide an exclusive suite of Internet applications as part of Sprint's new Sprint Broadband Direct(SM) wireless broadband offerings. Delivered to a home or business through a fixed antenna, the high-speed wireless service allows Internet download speeds up to 5 Mbps through the air. "Our main goal is to get people on the Internet, and that means supporting as many viable options for making the connection as possible," said Mike Lunsford, executive vice president of broadband services. "Working with Sprint on cool new technologies like high-speed wireless, in addition to our slate of mainstream DSL and cable services, allows us to expand those options." The partnership with Sprint further extends EarthLink's involvement with alternative broadband Internet access technologies. EarthLink has pioneered a multi-technology broadband philosophy, striving to offer its members the most advanced, reliable services and applications, regardless of the way they access the service. By providing its members with award-winning support, rock-solid reliability and best-of-breed tools like the Personal Start Page(SM), bLink, EarthLink 5.0 software, Click-n-Build and more, EarthLink has forged a reputation as the customer-focused ISP. Because of the EarthLink-Sprint alliance, Sprint Broadband Direct service offers customers the best of EarthLink's features. "We've really been able to put together an attractive service offering with Sprint Broadband Direct because of our strong partnership with EarthLink, and because of the excellence of EarthLink's Internet services and tools," said Tim Sutton, president of Sprint's Broadband Wireless Group. "We've found both companies' expertise to be a potent and complementary combination as we roll out these new wireless broadband services." Unlike mobile wireless, Sprint Broadband Direct is a fixed wireless service that communicates with a central radio transmission tower through a stationary digital transceiver placed on the home or business. The digital transceiver is a small 13.5-inch-by-13.5-inch device that resembles a satellite TV dish. The central radio transmission tower can send and receive high-speed Internet data to customers that are up to 35 miles away. Sprint Broadband Direct customers will receive all EarthLink member benefits, including Family Pack (a six-user package), the Personal Start Page, 6MB of free Web space, award-winning 24-hour member support, EarthLink's printed bi-monthly magazine bLink, and more.
