Casper and Douglas, Wyoming Added to Verizon Wireless' Broadband Network

More Wyoming customers now have access to high-speed wireless Internet
e-mail, mobile music and more

    CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Wireless customers in Casper
and Douglas now have access to the latest high-speed business and
entertainment services on their wireless phones, laptop computers and other
wireless devices thanks to Verizon Wireless.
    The new capabilities come with the further expansion of the company's
Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) network in Wyoming, enabling both its
BroadbandAccess and V CAST services. Verizon Wireless launched the services
earlier this month in Cheyenne and Laramie.
    "The greater Casper area is an important, expanding market with
dynamic, growing businesses and an increasing number of mobile data
consumers," said Melanie Braidich, regional president of Verizon Wireless.
"The expansion of our broadband network will provide them access to the
very latest wireless technology, allowing for high-speed Internet access,
mobile music and video on-the-go."
    Coverage
    With today's launch, BroadbandAccess and V CAST coverage now includes
the following communities in Wyoming:
    * Casper

    * Cheyenne

    * Douglas

    * Laramie
    Verizon Wireless was the first national wireless provider to
commercially launch a high-speed wireless broadband network in the United
States. Verizon Wireless' EV-DO network now reaches more than 200 million
people.
    The company has invested more than $41 million in its Wyoming network
in the past four years -- part of its $35 billion nationwide network
investment over the last seven years -- to ensure network reliability and
expanded coverage, capacity and capabilities.
    BroadbandAccess
    BroadbandAccess provides on-the-go professionals with full, mobile
access to their corporate information as if they were attached to the
information via a high-speed wired connection. Users can conduct business
anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true
high-speed data connection.
    With average access speeds of 400-700 kilobits per second (kbps), users
can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small
PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about 20 seconds.
    Connecting to BroadbandAccess is easy, using a PC Card that slides
directly into most laptop computers, an integrated option on select
notebook computers or by connecting a laptop to a BroadbandAccess-capable
PDA or phone. BroadbandAccess customers who travel outside the coverage
area with an EV-DO-capable device will switch seamlessly to Verizon
Wireless' existing NationalAccess network that offers average data
transmission speeds between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps.
    V CAST
    V CAST, the nation's first wireless broadband multimedia service for
consumers, offers the most comprehensive selection available of music,
videos and 3D games on demand. Users can stream video clips (up to five
minutes long) of the hottest entertainment, music videos, movie trailers,
sports highlights, news and breaking weather directly to their Verizon
Wireless V CAST-capable phone.
    With V CAST Music, customers can browse and download songs from the V
CAST Music library of 1.5 million songs directly onto their V CAST
Music-enabled phone or Windows(R) XP-enabled PC. They can also transfer
music from their PC to their V CAST Music-enabled phone and take their
tunes with them without a second device.
