Midwest Wireless helping Rural Cellular Corp. bring BREW to its customers

Mobile Internet, The, June, 2004

Two providers announce their own first-of-its-kind BREW development on the first day of BREW 2004 Developers Conference

Regional wireless providers Midwest Wireless and Rural Cellular Corporation (RCC) recently announced an agreement which will enable RCC to bring BREW(TM) services to its customers, using Midwest Wireless' already-existing BREW service platform. This is the first such "BREW hosting" agreement for Midwest Wireless.

BREW offers an extensive line of sophisticated entertainment applications and communication services that can be downloaded onto a compatible wireless phone. Midwest Wireless, which has been offering BREW-based services to its own customers since August 2003, will help facilitate RCC's launch of the service to its customers in July of this year.

"By hosting the BREW services for RCC, Midwest Wireless is able to more fully utilize our existing BREW platform, while helping make BREW available to a much larger audience," said Tom Riley, Vice President of Market Operations for Midwest Wireless.
