offered by legacy phone companies and Towerstream is able to
provide connectivity options to meet the diverse needs of these
businesses. "Following completion of Towerstream's recent
financing, we are committed to deeper penetration in our major
metropolitan markets and adding additional cities throughout 2007,"
said Jeff Thompson, President and CEO of Towerstream. "Expansion
into Century City has been one of our important near-term goals.
Our fixed wireless broadband, supporting high bandwidth video
capabilities, is a tremendous asset to many businesses that could
benefit from a more robust broadband solution not currently offered
by traditional wireline providers. Our primary objective has been,
and will always be, to offer exceptional broadband in the cities we
serve. We are pleased that businesses on the west side of LA will
be able to take advantage." All of Towerstream's Los Angeles
customers have a range of bandwidth options to choose from,
including T1, T3, 100 and 1000 Mbps connections, as well as service
reliability backed by an industry-leading Service Level Agreement
