FatPort to unwire Coast Hotels & Resorts

Vancouver BC, April 8, 2003 - FatPort, Canada's most established highspeed wireless Internet provider, is excited to announce an agreement to provide high-speed wireless Internet access throughout the Coast Hotels & Resorts chain in Canada.

"Coast Hotels takes great care in choosing the amenities and services our guests will most appreciate," states Franco Anglesio, President of Coast Hotels & Resorts, Canada. "FatPort's solution, which includes leveraged co-marketing with Intel's Centrino campaign, neatly compliments our leading-edge hospitality services."

Based on the 802.11b, or Wi-Fi wireless standard, wireless access will be made available in 8 Canadian properties first, and rolled out across the chain's other Canadian locations in the coming months.

"This agreement significantly accelerates the deployment of our network throughout Western North America and brings public-access Wi-Fi to many previously un-served communities," notes Gary Stahlbrand, FatPort's Director of Sales. "Coast Hotels & Resorts will be an excellent destination for the business or leisure traveler who needs high-speed Internet access while they're on the road."
