Hurricane relief news: BellSouth announced the expansion of its wireless broadband service to customers in Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss., who sustained long term damage after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. BellSouth(R) Wireless Broadband Service provides small businesses and consumers with an alternative high-speed Internet access solution as they rebuild their businesses and homes or help with restoration efforts. "Small businesses and homeowners are still rebuilding, and they are looking to BellSouth to provide the critical communications they need to get their lives in order," said John McCullouch, president of BellSouth's Mississippi operations. "Our wireless broadband service will provide customers with a viable and economical solution for high-speed Internet access." This service offers businesses and consumers high-speed Internet access, with downstream speeds up to 1.5Mbps. With no phone line needed, the system transmits signals between local radio towers and a small non-line-of-sight modem that plugs into a desktop or laptop computer, or a local router. |
