See World Satellites and HughesNet(TM) Bring High Speed Internet Access to Western Pennsylvania
27 July 2006
See World Satellites, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FTS Group, Inc. (OTCBB: FLIP), today announced that it has partnered with Hughes Network Services to offer its HughesNet™ broadband satellite service to consumers and small business owners across the western Pa. region.
FTS Group CEO Scott Gallagher stated, "In the western Pa. market there's still a considerable number of people who are unable to receive high-speed Internet access from traditional cable or DSL sources available in larger markets. For these consumers, satellite broadband offers a fantastic alternative to dial-up service." Gallagher went on to say, "In this digital age it's hard to believe there are still areas where consumers have a hard time gaining high speed access to the Internet. Hughes is bridging that gap with its HughesNet product and we're proud to be able to offer the thousands of customers See World has served over the years another high quality product from an industry leader."
Unlike terrestrial solutions, HughesNet™ satellite broadband does not rely on cable or phone wires, making affordable broadband services available to consumers and small businesses everywhere, regardless of geography, at speeds comparable to digital subscriber line (DSL). The compact antenna dish needs only to have a clear view of the southern sky.
HughesNet™ currently serves more than 300,000 broadband customers in nearly 26,000 zip codes underserved by cable and DSL, all of whom have access to a state-of-the-art email system, a personalized start page, and easily accessible customer support services.
