I saw on WiMAX.com recently that Clearwire’s site indicates it is now offering its “Clear” WiMAX service in Atlanta. 

As the article notes, “This is great news and a significant milestone for the industry.”  I am pleased to hear that Clearwire continues to grow its coverage areas and execute on its plans. 

Towerstream also had some market-related news this week.  On Monday, we announced the expansion of our Chicago market into Evanston.  What does this mean?  Our coverage scope is MUCH wider, allowing us to reach an additional 31,000 businesses. 

As you might have seen, this announcement was a bit different.  We’re always looking for new ways to communicate with our customers, investors and other industry folks so we decided to try something new, using a “multimedia release” format, rather than a standard press release.  This allowed us to include some cool graphics and a video to offer more information to everyone.  Take a look at the new format – and let us know what you think!  We’ll be looking to use this type of release more and more in the future.

While we’re on the subject of Towersteam’s news, on Wednesday afternoon we announced our earnings results for the first quarter of 2009.  It was another strong quarter for Towerstream, and the fourth quarter of consecutive revenue growth.  We also saw a record number of new subscribers which is a real validation for the strength of our service – especially in this economy. 

If you have any questions on either of our announcements, let me know!

Thanks,

Jeff
