Omnicity Corp wants to be rural America’s premier telecommunications and broadband Internet Service Provider. The company has developed a business model that has proven successful in thousands of rural Indiana homes, providing high-speed Internet service on a mass basis at a lower cost and more efficiently than wire or fiber optic solutions. With this model in hand, Omnicity is now growing rapidly through acquisitions with the goal of capturing the underserved and unserved rural and small town markets throughout America.

The majority of rural homes do not yet have access to broadband service. Cable is often unavailable, and DSL service is usually limited to urban/suburban areas. Traditional dialup service is simply no longer a viable solution, due to the growing audio/video content of the Web. Omnicity estimates that there are currently over 40 million homes, businesses, and other users in the

Qwest Communications (Q) has released its capital expenditure (CapEx) guidance for 2010. The local and long-distance telephone service provider expects its CapEX to remain at par with the estimated 2009 level of $1.7 billion.      Qwest continues to invest in building necessary infrastructure to boost network capacity and availability. Historically, the company has allocated a major portion of the overall CapEx in deploying additional fiber-to-the-node (“FTTN") capacity to increase the performance of its broadband network. Moving forward, Qwest plans to increase spending on deployment of fiber optic cable to support wireless services.   The company recently introduced a new fiber-based Ethernet backhaul wholesale service for wireless operators. The service (called Qwest Mobile Ethernet Backhaul) leverages Qwest’s FTTN network to extend fiber connections to cellular sites. This will enable wireless operators to upgrade their existing copper-based wireless backhaul networks to faster fiber optic connections, which will expand capacity ...

Omnicity Corp. hopes to do with the Internet what was done with electricity in the 1930s. Specifically, they hope to bring all of the benefits and capabilities of the Web to rural areas not currently served with broadband access. The goal is to build a nationwide wireless network that is able to deliver high-speed Internet access to rural subscribers in a more cost-effective way than traditional cable or fiber optic models.

Currently, only 38% of rural households have broadband connections, versus 57% of urban homes and 60% of suburban homes. Most homes in rural areas cannot receive cable television or broadband. Even DSL rarely extends beyond the city limits. And traditional dial-up service is simply to slow to run many of the Web’s newest programs.

All of this greatly limits the ability of this segment of the population to participate in

Omnicity Corp. provides broadband access, including advanced services of voice, video and data, in un-served and underserved small and rural markets. The company aims to be the premier consolidator of rural market broadband nationwide. Leveraging management expertise, Omnicity’s strategy is to provide a total broadband solution and continue rapid growth through acquisitions, organic growth and partnerships with Rural Electric Municipal Cooperatives and Rural Telephone Companies.
