Internet Service Provider Introduces Its Cutting-Edge Services to Residents and Businesses in the Ohio Area and Partners with Helping Hands Community Outreach CenterDAYTON, Ohio, Aug 02, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ:CLWR) is bringing the freedom of
wireless broadband Internet service to the Dayton, Ohio, area with its
official launch today. Residents and businesses now have a fast,
simple, portable, reliable and affordable alternative to traditional
dial-up, cable and DSL. Clearwire service eliminates the confines of
traditional cable or telephone wiring, allowing customers to connect
at home, a local coffeehouse, the office or virtually anywhere else in
the Clearwire service area.
"Clearwire is changing the way Dayton-area residents and
businesses connect online and with one another, by offering a simple,
quick connection process coupled with exceptional customer service and
portability," said Bill Snoeberger, Clearwire's regional vice
president in Dayton. "In addition to launching our innovative services
today, we are proud to announce a partnership with the Helping Hands
Community Outreach Center located in nearby Trotwood, where we will
donate a completely brand new computer lab outfitted with Clearwire
service so that the center can continue to empower youth and adults
through computer and Internet skills training."
A Community Partner
Clearwire is committed to helping make a difference in the
communities it serves. Through its "Clearly Connected Communities" the
company provides simple, reliable and portable Internet service to
local community organizations. To celebrate its entry as one of
Dayton's newest businesses and community partners, Clearwire is
partnering with the Helping Hands Community Outreach Center by
sponsoring the "Clearwire Learning Lab" -- a computer lab that will
allow students computer access to create resumes, learn how to use
various computer applications and more. Helping Hands is dedicated to
empowering youth and adults to become tomorrow's leaders through the
development of social, educational and economic skills.
"We are extremely excited, honored and grateful that Clearwire has
chosen to support the Helping Hands Community Outreach Center,"
explained Neldra Glasper, director, Helping Hands Community Outreach
Center. "Clearwire's generous donation to help renovate our computer
lab as well as the laptops and Internet service they have given us
will help our members tremendously. More people will now have access
to learning tools essential in earning a GED, computer applications
necessary to complete school projects and other endless opportunities
available via the Internet."
