19 /PRNewswire/ -- In its sixth launch of wireless broadband
service in six months, BellSouth (NYSE:BLS) announced today that
BellSouth(R) Wireless Broadband Service is now available in DeLand,
Fla. BellSouth's wireless broadband service offers residential and
business customers high-speed Internet access, with downstream
speeds up to 1.5Mbps and no phone line needed. The system transmits
signals between local radio towers and a small non-line-of-sight
desktop subscriber modem and utilizes BellSouth licensed WCS 2.3GHz
spectrum. "BellSouth Wireless Broadband Service aids in our efforts
to continuously extend the reach of our broadband service," said
Marshall Criser, president of BellSouth Florida. "The deployment of
this exciting new service in DeLand is just another example of how
BellSouth is paving the way in wireless broadband." BellSouth was
the first major telecom provider to commercially launch wireless
broadband using pre-WIMAX technology. The company initially
deployed the service last August in Athens, Ga., and has since
deployed in Palatka, Fla.; New Orleans, La.; Gulfport, Miss.;
Biloxi, Miss.; and now DeLand, Fla. BellSouth plans to expand the
service to additional cities throughout 2006. "For many people,
wireless broadband may be their first opportunity to experience

Broadband Service can offer those and other customers a high-speed
Internet solution with the flexibility they want, the simplicity
