Storm Internet Unveils Strategy for Urban and Rural Community Internet Services


Current Broadband Internet Access Network Spans more than 35,000 square kilometers in Eastern Ontario

Ottawa, ON. October 31, 2002 - Storm Internet, known for its HighSpeed wireless service offering in the rural areas surrounding Ottawa, now offers competitive services in the urban areas for both residential and business users. Positioned as a community internet service provider, Storm Internet has been successful at building relationships within the community through a network of partners and resellers for all its HighSpeed services.

"Up until now, Storm has been somewhat of a secret in Ottawa's urban internet market. Since 1996, Storm has boasted significant growth for their wireless product offerings in rural areas outside Ottawa," said Dan Wilton, VP Marketing. "Today, we are ready to offer clients competitive alternatives to their current internet services, in a community-focused atmosphere."

Storm offers a full suite of Internet access and website hosting products available to clients throughout Eastern Ontario. As a strong community supporter, and an active member of several organizations that encourage local business growth, Storm maintains a reputation as an innovator in providing Internet services throughout greater Ottawa.

Current Internet services include dialup, dsl, cable, wireless, and fibre access for both residential and business users. As well as competitive website hosting, web development, and networking services defining the full gamut of Internet related offerings. Availability of all services can be found on the newly launched company website located at www.storm.ca

"Our new strategy has leveraged our existing infrastructure, creating a truly competitive product mix for Ottawa's urban landscape," says Wilton. "Basically, anyone who is considering options for their current Internet service - we invite them to contact us."
