Broadband. Jay Wright, Chairman and CEO of MobilePro, will maintain his

"Jerry Sullivan and his team have a spectacular track record as
wireless networks operators and of generating compelling investment
returns for their financial sponsors," said Jay Wright, Chairman and
CEO of MobilePro. "I am thrilled with the prospect of Jerry and his
entire wireless team joining us full time. Jerry's last major deal,
Tritel, Inc., one of the PCS affiliates of AT&T Wireless, was
enormously successful, both operationally and financially, with a
multi-billion-dollar exit price for his shareholders. I look forward to
moving expeditiously to close this transaction."
Jerry Sullivan, CEO of Kite Networks and Kite Broadband, said, "I
and the rest of our management team are extremely excited to be working
with Jay and MobilePro as we continue to build significant shareholder
value over the next few years. Combining the wireless deployment and
operational experience of our management team with MobilePro's platform
and strong position in the muni-wireless arena should position the
combined companies for tremendous success in the future."
