[Barry]

Bell Canada (along with Rogers) announced the availability of Sympatico High Speed Unplugged, a nation-wide wireless broadband service which delivers a simple and portable way to get online. Available in both urban and rural areas, the service will offer wireless internet access with speeds of up to 3 mbps to more than two-thirds of
Canadians in less than three years.

Sympatico High Speed Unplugged will be launched in the following regions:

- Alberta: Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer
- British Columbia: Vancouver and Victoria
- Newfoundland: St. Johns
- New Brunswick: Fredericton
- Nova Scotia: Halifax
- Ontario: Barrie, Hamilton, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Toronto and
Windsor
- PEI: Charlottetown
- Quebec: Hull, Montreal, Quebec City
- Yukon: Whitehorse

The introductory offer for the new service includes two distinct speeds and pricing options of 512 kbps for $45 per month and 3 mbps for $60 per month. In addition the service requires a portable modem, available for $99 with a 24 month contract. Sympatico Unplugged relies on Inukshuk Wireless Inc. The arrangement, which also includes Bell West, Northwestel and Aliant allows the companies to minimize costs and maximize wireless broadband network coverage by leveraging the companies' existing wireless tower and network transport infrastructures. Inukshuk's network footprint will cover over 45 cities and approximately 100 unserved rural and remote communities across Canada by the end of 2008.
