BWE Begins Search for Top 10 
Broadband Wireless ISPs of 2002

    Gilbert, AZ, December 2, 2002 - Broadband Wireless Exchange Magazine (BWE), a leading provider of broadband wireless news, research and product information, today announced the 2002 search for the Top 10 Most Successful Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) in the United States. Vendors, Value Added Resellers and Distributors are encouraged to nominate their top WISP customers for the distinguished honor of being selected as one of the Top 10 Most Successful WISPs of 2002.

    This year's awards will be given out to WISPs with the largest sales increase and/or the largest installed customer base. In addition to National WISPs, BWE is seeking the Top 10 WISPs in every state. WISPs can use licensed, unlicensed or a combination of both to provide customers with high-speed Internet access via fixed broadband wireless connections.

    The Top WISP award winners will be announced in January 2003 and formally recognized at a special awards ceremony at the Broadband Wireless World tradeshow in San Jose, CA in April 2003.

    "Last year's Top 10 Awards opened the door for many outside our industry that knew the broadband wireless industry was growing, but didn't know who the industry's leaders were," said Robert Hoskins, Broadband Wireless Exchange, Inc.'s President and CEO. "After receiving their Top 10 Most Successful WISP Awards many of the top 10 providers were featured in stories in local newspapers, on local television news casts and in national trade publications."

    Hoskins added, "The Top 10 Awards are a great way to show others outside our industry who the real leaders and decision makers in our industry are and give them the recognition they deserve. It will also help these providers and the industry as a whole obtain the same attention and publicity that a similar type of broadband wireless technology called Wi-Fi is receiving. We look forward to sharing this year's Top 10 Most Successful WISP results with the industry in January 2003."
