Several New Hampshire Counties Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network Expansion

More Granite State Residents and Visitors Gain Access to High-Speed Wireless Internet on Laptops; Video Clips and Music to Wireless Phones

Verizon Wireless' high-speed wireless service, which powers its V CAST multimedia and BroadbandAccess Internet applications, is based on the company's Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A network technology. The new service is available in the Mountain Region of Carroll County; the Lakes Regions of Belknap and Merrimack counties; and Hillsborough County in southern New Hampshire.

Last December, the company unveiled wireless broadband services across seacoast New Hampshire and in the metropolitan areas of Concord, Nashua and Manchester, as well as Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

    The 40-plus site enhancement occurred in the following counties and towns:
    -- Carroll County in Albany (2 locations), Attitash, Cranmore, Jackson,
       Long Mountain, Moultonboro (2 locations), Ossipee, Tamworth, Wakefield
       and Wolfeboro
    -- Belknap County: Alton, Belmont, Danbury, Gunstock, Laconia, Meredith,
       New Hampton, Sanbornton (2 locations), Tilton and Whittier
    -- Merrimack County: Boscawen, Sunapee, King Ridge, Louden, Northfield (2
       locations) and Warner
    -- Hillsborough County: Crotched Mountain, Deering, Henniker, Hollis (2
       locations), Hopkinton (2 locations), Milford, Peterborough, Temple
       Mountain and Weare

"This high-speed wireless enhancement across New Hampshire is part of our continued investment in innovative and reliable wireless data services," said Ken Dixon, New England Region president for Verizon Wireless. "More customers can now take their desktop experience wherever they go within the coverage area."

Verizon Wireless' subscription-based V CAST multimedia service brings music on demand, video clips, and current news, weather, sports and entertainment programming to wireless phones. V CAST Music offers consumers access to a catalog of more than 2 million songs and the ability to download full tracks over-the-air to Verizon Wireless phones. V CAST also allows customers to download and play cutting-edge 3D games for an additional charge.

Already available to more than 210 million Americans in 245 major metropolitan areas and 194 major airports from coast to coast, BroadbandAccess offers customers with Rev. A compatible devices the nation's most reliable high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps.

As an example of the benefits that Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess provides to mobile and business professionals, construction supervisors can capture important details about building projects and wirelessly transmit the information to the contractor; food and beverage company representatives can re-order stock wirelessly while at the point of sale; and physicians can write prescriptions, enter orders and manage other tasks via PDAs or laptops.

For a limited time Verizon Wireless customers can receive BroadbandAccess service for Internet browsing, email and Intranet access for $59.99 per month. A new two-year customer agreement is required and activation fees, taxes and other charges apply. The company's BroadbandAccess service is also available as an integrated option on select notebook computers.

Verizon Wireless, the first national wireless provider to commercially launch a high-speed wireless broadband network in the United States, has invested $40 billion in the last seven years - more than $5 billion on average every year since the company was formed - to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. In 2006, Verizon Wireless invested nearly $318M into its network infrastructure across New England.
