Alltel's Axcess Broadband Now Extends from Lincoln and Omaha to

Comparable to Cable or DSL

LINCOLN, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 2007--Alltel Wireless
(NYSE: AT), America's largest network, now offers the largest wireless
broadband coverage area in Nebraska. No other carrier matches Alltel's
Axcess Broadband footprint, which stretches from Lincoln and Omaha
west to Scottsbluff. This new coverage complements Alltel's extensive
Axcess Broadband network in neighboring Kansas. Alltel's
next-generation EVDO (evolution data optimized) technology provides
customers with unlimited wireless access to the Internet at speeds
comparable to wired broadband connections such as cable modem or DSL.
Other Nebraska communities now served by Axcess Broadband include
Norfolk, Columbus, Grand Island, Beatrice and North Platte.
Axcess Broadband makes it easy to surf the Internet, access e-mail
and calendars and download large, graphic-rich files while on the go.
Using the service, customers can access advanced business, news and
entertainment applications from their laptops, smartphones or handsets
at average speeds of 400 to 700 Kbps with maximum speeds of up to 2.4
Mbps.
"Alltel Wireless is committed to meeting the growing data needs of
our customers," said Jay Ortman, vice president of business solutions
for Alltel Wireless in Nebraska. "Axcess Broadband wireless Internet
service delivers an unmatched wireless broadband experience that will
keep both traveling business professionals and casual users connected
with the fastest and most reliable data services."
Alltel is expanding its high-speed network across the country,
giving it one of the largest EVDO footprints of any carrier. Axcess
Broadband service is available in metropolitan areas such as Phoenix,
Charlotte, Tampa and Cleveland; in smaller cities such as Little Rock, Ark., Wilmington, N.C., and Savannah, Ga., and in towns such as
Killeen, Texas; Dothan, Ala., and Durango, Colo.
Axcess Broadband is available for $59.99 a month for unlimited use
with qualifying voice plans. In addition to supporting a wide range of
productivity enhancing business applications, it enables Alltel's
Axcess TV, with more than 25 channels, and XM radio, with 20 of the
best satellite radio music channels. To experience the high-speed
network, customers will need an EVDO-capable handset, such as the
silver or fire red MOTORAZR V3m, or a laptop PC data card, such as the
Kyocera Passport 1xEVDO PC Card.
