FatPort unwires Earls restaurants

Vancouver BC - Feb 5, 2004 - FatPort is pleased to announce an agreement to install high speed wireless Internet access in all corporate Earls locations chain-wide. The service will be available both to Earls corporate employees and to the dining public.

In addition to unwiring over 50 restaurants for Earls in cities throughout Western Canada, FatPort is providing Earl's management with corporate accounts, facilitating communication with their mobile and regional workforce. The service is expected to be popular among the business community, who often hold lunch meetings at Earls.

"Earls is a dining destination among business travellers that look for a quality restaurant they know and trust when they're away from home. With such a diverse geographic footprint, unwiring Earls brings enormous benefit to FatPort by complimenting and adding value to other chain-associated hotspots in the network - like the Coast Hotel chain." states Gary Stahlbrand, FatPort's Director of Sales and Marketing. "Stay at the Coast, eat at Earls and stay connected. It's a perfect combination."

"Earls is excited to be leading the market by offering FatPort's highspeed wireless Internet access to our guests," says Brad Brooks, Director, IT Services for Earls Restaurants. "But the service is useful for us directly. We expect it to become an indispensable communications tool both for our management team and to our suppliers who travel extensively to each restaurant."
