EarthLink, Motorola Executives and David S. Isenberg to Deliver Keynotes at ISPCON Spring 2006; Experts to Provide Insight into Today's Hot Topics Including Net Neutrality, Municipal Networks and Competitive Challenges

Business Wire, March 23, 2006

BALTIMORE -- Today, The Golden Group announced the roster of keynote speakers for ISPCON Spring 2006, the leading event for wired and wireless ISPs. Presenters will include: Donald B. Berryman, EVP/president Municipal Networks for EarthLink Inc.; David S. Isenberg, principal, isen.com; and Raghu Rau, SVP Global Marketing and Strategy for Motorola Networks. Their presentations bring a unique view into current industry issues and deliver a frank discussion about topics ISPs face today. ISPCON Spring 2006 will take place May 16-18 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Mr. Berryman and Mr. Rau will co-present "Muni Networks: Partnering for Affordable Broadband." In this keynote, Mr. Berryman will discuss the approach EarthLink is taking with Muni Wi-Fi, share some insight on the partnerships with Mr. Rau from Motorola, and discuss how our entire industry can become a key driver in populating and advancing the use of wireless networks, strong partnerships and affordable broadband.

As president of Municipal Networks, Don Berryman leads EarthLink's market-leading effort into the municipal wireless broadband market. Leveraging the company's expertise in state-of-the-art technology and award-winning customer support, Don's team has set out to help cities across the United States take advantage of the power and possibilities of wireless technology via competitive and low-cost alternative to other high-speed Internet service providers.

Raghu Rau is senior vice president of global marketing and strategy for Motorola Networks. Rau is responsible for driving the business strategy for Motorola Networks and leading the global marketing efforts for network solutions delivered to wireless and wireline carriers worldwide.

Mr. Isenberg will present "Your Neutrality Reality" addressing the current state and fate of network neutrality as the economics of every Internet business are on track to be turned completely upside down. Without network neutrality, service providers could determine what content is available to Internet subscribers compromising the basis upon which the Internet was founded. Mr. Isenberg discusses the salient points and what's ahead for the industry and the entire Internet economy as it faces the new reality of neutrality.

Mr. Isenberg spent 12 years at AT&T Bell Labs until his 1997 essay, "The Rise of the Stupid Network," was received with acclaim everywhere in the global telecommunications community with one exception -- at AT&T itself! So Isenberg left AT&T in 1998 to found isen.com LLC (an independent telecom analysis firm based in Cos Cob, CT) and to publish The SMART Letter, an open-minded commentary on the communications revolution and its enemies. He is also the co-producer and chair of the Freedom to Connect conference.
