Verizon Wireless expands BroadbandAccess 3G network to 14 markets

September 23, 2004

Fulfilling its promise made exactly six months ago to expand BroadbandAccess to many markets across the United States, Verizon Wireless announced that BroadbandAccess will be available in more than 14 major metropolitan areas beginning Monday, September 27, 2004. As part of Verizon Wireless' planned $1 billion investment through 2005 to roll out BroadbandAccess nationally, BroadbandAccess will be newly available in the following major metropolitan areas:

-- Atlanta
-- Austin, TX
-- Baltimore
-- Kansas City, KS/MO
-- Los Angeles
-- Miami/Fort Lauderdale, FL
-- Milwaukee
-- New York
-- Philadelphia
-- Tampa, FL
-- West Palm Beach, FL

Verizon Wireless has also expanded BroadbandAccess availability in San Diego and Washington D.C., as well as the recently announced Las Vegas metropolitan area. And while the service is already available at San Diego International Airport, Washington Dulles International and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airports in Washington D. C. and McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Monday's expansion also consists of making the service available at some of the nation's other busiest airports, including:

-- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)
-- Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (Austin, TX)
-- Baltimore-Washington International Airport (Baltimore)
-- Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas/Fort Worth)
-- Love Field Airport (Dallas)
-- George Bush Intercontinental Airport (Houston)
-- William P. Hobby Airport (Houston)
-- Jacksonville International Airport (Jacksonville, FL)
-- Kansas City International Airport (Kansas City, KS/MO)
-- Los Angeles International Airport (Los Angeles)
-- Miami International Airport (Miami)
-- General Mitchell International Airport (Milwaukee)
-- Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark, NJ)
-- Louis Armstrong International Airport (New Orleans)
-- Orlando International Airport (Orlando, FL)
-- Philadelphia International Airport (Philadelphia)
-- Sky Harbor International Airport (Phoenix)
-- John Wayne-Orange County Airport (Santa Ana, CA)
-- Tampa International Airport (Tampa, FL)
-- Palm Beach International Airport (West Palm Beach, FL)

"Verizon Wireless' national rollout of BroadbandAccess builds on our strategy to provide business and individual customers superior voice and data networks in the United States," said Denny Strigl, president and chief executive officer of Verizon Wireless. "While today's announcement of adding these markets to our BroadbandAccess coverage area and expanding the service to include coverage of 34 million people is very exciting, I want to reiterate that we are on target to expand BroadbandAccess to cover one-third of our network - approximately 75 million Americans - by the end of 2004."

Powered by an EV-DO 3G wide-area network, BroadbandAccess offers typical download speeds of 300-500 kbps. BroadbandAccess is based on CDMA technology, a digital wireless technology commercially developed by QUALCOMM. Because it is backward compatible, customers who travel outside a BroadbandAccess area with an EV-DO device will seamlessly switch to Verizon Wireless' existing NationalAccess network, based on 1xRTT technology.
