Strategy to Connect UnWired Customers Announced

 

Chicago, May 12, 2008:  Over 150 million Americans do not have continual access to broadband capability, even though this service has become a tremendously important aspect of communications and commerce in our society today.  FSH Communications hopes to mitigate this problem in its service territories by refocusing the Company on the challenge of connecting "UnWired" market segments.  Mike Tatom, Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer for the Company stated, "FSH is committed to creating and utilizing technology that moves the country forward."  He went on to say, "The United States has plunged to 15th place in comparison to broadband penetration of other countries - we started in fourth place when the statistics were first collected."  FSH realizes that this effort will require investment, as well as a tremendous amount of support form policy makers and other corporate organizations.

The effort will focus on two areas.  First, FSH intends to find profitable ways to provide IP-based voice services in conjunction with Internet access for people that are disconnected as a result of travel or just being away from the office or home.  Second, the Company will create new services that allow customers to realize the benefit of broadband.  These services will be offered in conjunction with broadband access plans.  This initiative anticipates that if individuals and businesses experience economically justifiable benefit from a service, they will buy it.

The first of such services is a movie download service that enables a customer to simply connect to a download station and select a movie that can be stored on a portable player or laptop.  The Company plans to offer a host of these new services within the next twelve months in conjunction with its media partner, Lightspeed Cinema, and it network partner, Amber Networks.

Amber Networks, of Milpitas, California is a key strategic partner of FSH and is currently driving wireless applications and services including voice and data by leveraging the FSH infrastructure.  Rob Reagan, President of Amber Networks, stated, "FSH is a key partner for Amber Networks in the delivery of wireless and sensor applications within busy public areas using our unique networks and service offerings.  We are a perfect match, and the public is the beneficiary where we can leverage publicly accessible connectivity."

Headquartered in Chicago, IL, FSH Communications is a premier provider of communications, content and media services for mobile market segments.
