Corridor Communications Corporation Lights-Up Expanded WIFI HotZone
Service to Downtown Stayton Oregon and Deploys Its New Dealer
Marketing and Resale Program A Core Method That the Company Will
Utilize to Expand Its Customer Base Will Be Through the Deployment
of Its Dealer Programs. Dealer's Chosen Will Have the Benefit of
Being in the Heart of a HotZone. MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 23
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corridor Communications Corporation:
(OTC:CORR) (BULLETIN BOARD: CORR) deployed its newest HotZone and
Dealer Incentive program this week at Wizbones PC located in
downtown Stayton, Oregon. Every business, residential and Wi-Fi
roamer in the downtown area can now have Wireless Internet access
without the necessity of an expensive truck roll. The company has
tested the area for use of "off the shelf" 802.11 gear and has
found it to be very effective in the downtown coverage area. The
Corridor Communications Corporation Dealer Incentive program allows
local computer retailers and repair shops to capitalize on their
loyal customer base and provides them additional products and
services to sell. Likewise, the Dealer Incentive program will boost
Corridors wireless marketing efforts with the endorsement of
Computer retailers and exposure to their existing customer base.
Corridor currently markets high-speed Internet services to large
geographic areas utilizing centralized Access Points. This wide
area coverage allows participating dealers to sell service to their
local customer base and beyond. Corridor is also planning to expand
its subscriber base by offering T1 wireless services to area
business and industry. Nick Schmit of Wizbones PC said, "We are
having great success with Corridors Broadband Service. In just a
short time we have signed up nearly 100 people and have 20 new
subscribers installed. What I like about selling Corridors Wireless
Service is that I can offer Broadband Wireless Internet to my
customers that live 15 or 20 miles away. Many of these customers
currently have no other option except dial-up. These same customers
can now bring their laptop or PDA to town and surf the net, even in
the Park down the street. This is an opportunity that would have
never been offered to them by the Telephone or Cable TV Company."
"Business partners like the PC shops that are equally interested in
our success and to the deployment of a solid reliable broadband
connection for their customer will set us apart from our wired
competitors. Partnering with an established local business enhances
our marketing dollars and endears us to the community. Wizbones PC,
a small town shop, sees 50 to 60 people a day. All of them either
own a computer or are in the process of buying one. We believe in
success and know that having dealers as marketing partners will
enable us to achieve our goals in growing this business," said J.
Michael Heil, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Scott Mac
Caughern, Chairman of Corridor Communications Corporation stated,
"Our Company is preparing to finish three strategic acquisitions
pending final due diligence, the dealer program is a core part of
one of the companies business models. It is already very successful
and a valid part of our future growth. I am pleased at the positive
response that our new program is receiving and happy for the
success Wizbones PC has had. We see that by expanding this program
it will further enable Corridor to execute on our growth plan."
