Over 1 Million Residents in Wake and Johnston County Now Have Access to
High-Speed Wireless Internet, E-mail, Downloadable Video Clips and Music

    RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to provide more
North Carolina residents with access to high-speed business and
entertainment-based services on their wireless phones, laptops and other
wireless devices, Verizon Wireless has expanded its Evolution-Data
Optimized (EV-DO) third generation (3G) wide-area network in the Raleigh
area to surrounding cities and towns.
    Since September 2005, customers in metropolitan Raleigh have enjoyed
the high-speed business and entertainment-based services and now more
Verizon Wireless customers in Johnston County can experience the high-speed
wireless service.
    "Due to the growing popularity of Verizon Wireless' established EV-DO
service, we have expanded our service beyond Raleigh, Durham and Cary to
neighboring Johnston County," said Jerry Fountain, Carolinas/Tennessee
region president for Verizon Wireless. "Now, more North Carolinians have
access to superior wireless data experience while away from the office and
full access to their corporate information, just as if they were attached
via a high-speed wired connection, but with the freedom of true mobility."
    Verizon Wireless was the first national wireless provider to
commercially launch a high-speed wireless broadband network in the United
States, and the company's EV-DO network reaches more than 200 million
Americans. In North Carolina, Verizon Wireless' EV-DO network is available
in Raleigh/Durham, Charlotte, Greensboro, Wilmington, Greenville and
Jacksonville.
    In 2006, Verizon Wireless invested $146 million to build, maintain and
expand its high-quality network, and since 2003, the company has spent $531
million in North Carolina to ensure network reliability and expanded
coverage and capacity. On a national level, Verizon Wireless spent $35
billion nationwide over the last seven years to ensure network reliability
and expanded coverage and capacity.
    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.
Current and new customers with any voice plan can now get unlimited
BroadbandAccess for $59.99 monthly access with a two-year customer
agreement. For non-voice customers, BroadbandAccess is available for $79.99
monthly access for unlimited use with a one-year customer agreement.
    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, 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
