Main Street Broadband Begins Network Deployment with USDA Rural Development Loan

More rural communities in the US will have access to broadband services

Atlanta, GA - March 19, 2009 – Main Street Broadband LLC announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Broadband South LLC, whose services are branded as Main Street Broadband, has begun build out of its advanced wireless network utilizing its recently closed $34 million USDA Rural Development Loan. The loan directly supports Main Street’s efforts to bring affordable wireless broadband services to over 120 communities in southern Georgia and northern Florida, and provides a key stimulus to economic development in the region.

“This is a great program and initiative,” states Mike Mies, Co-Founder and CEO of Main Street Broadband, “The USDA’s support for making broadband services available to rural communities and Main Street’s mission to provide and manage a state-of-the-art network for high speed internet and digital voice services is a winning combination.”

The communities targeted by Main Street have limited or no access to broadband services as a result of the high cost to run cable or fiber to provide the services. Fixed and mobile wireless broadband technologies are now able to provide reliable access at higher speeds and with a greater reach, making Main Street Broadband’s voice and data services affordable for the end users.

Main Street Broadband is deploying WiMax technology to provide voice and data services to each community the company serves. Broadband services support economic development for the businesses of these small communities as well as provide high speed internet access in most homes. Main Street is launching its WiMax service in Waycross, Georgia.

Main Street Broadband is not new to providing rural broadband services. Currently the company is operating in several communities in south east Georgia through its acquisition of Coastal Broadband in 2008.

Main Street Broadband is already focusing resources to expand its service footprint. It plans to roll out Waycross and Folkston, Georgia by the end of the 2nd Quarter of this year and many more communities by the end of this year. “As our business partnership strengthens, the focus remains unchanged. We look forward to continuing a successful track record of delivering affordable and reliable high speed internet service to our customers,” states Mike Mies Co-Founder and CEO of Main Street Broadband.

In connection with the name change, Main Street Broadband will transition the brand over the next couple of months, but customers will continue to receive the same great service.
