and long distance voice services, today announced it has expanded
its communications network across the entire San Francisco Bay from
downtown San Francisco down the peninsula to San Jose. "Our
facilities-based network enables us to make cost-effective

significant capital investment," said Mpower Communications
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rolla P. Huff. "With this
network expansion, Mpower's voice-over-IP based products and

territory will connect to Mpower's existing coverage area on the
East side of the Bay and is a natural extension of the company's

Jose to Petaluma, Sunnyvale to Benicia, or any parts in between are
free on Mpower service. "We are seeing increased demand for
efficient and effective communications services across Northern
California," added Mpower Communications President of Sales and
Marketing Jim Ferguson. "Mpower delivers superior quality voice and
data solutions that are supported locally and offer businesses of
all types significant cost and operating efficiencies. Our expanded
