Dear Mike,

M2Z Networks, a Silicon Valley company founded by Milo Medin, the  
founder
of @Home Networks, and John Muleta, the Former FCC Wireless Bureau Chief
and an Advisory Board member to PacketHop, recently submitted an
application to the FCC for the purpose of building a nationwide WiMax
broadband network.  PacketHop is included in the proposal as a  
partner of
M2Z that would provide mesh-enabled communications for first responders,
consumers and enterprises.

I believe that this proposal is a very positive step forward for  
bridging
the digital divide in the U.S. and providing universal access to  
broadband
services.  The wireless broadband network proposed by M2Z would provide
over 95 percent of the country with free high-speed broadband access  
via a
PacketHop enabled reception device, delivering enormous economic and  
social
benefits.  Mobile mesh broadband communications enable people to
communicate and share information seamlessly, in secure, mobile  
situations
but without the limitations of bandwidth found on fixed or non-broadband
devices.

In addition to the beneficial consumer and business implications of this
proposal, there are many positive aspects for public safety.  Under this
proposal, PacketHop will work with M2Z to enable first responder  
agencies
to quickly, securely and seamlessly communicate at an incident of any
scope or scale with mission critical broadband applications.  Using a
nationwide wireless IP network such as M2Z’s will solve many of the
interoperable communications problems that have plagued first responders
for many years.

PacketHop’s inclusion in the M2Z proposal is another example of how
PacketHop’s solution is helping to define mobile mesh-enabled broadband
communications.

Now, with the convergence of landline and wireless IP networks and
multi-mode mobile devices, there is a wealth of new applications in the
commercial markets where people are driven to “stay connected.”
PacketHop’s technology is the foundation on which mobile mesh
communications will enable users to create high-speed, scalable and  
secure
peer-to-peer wireless networks that support multimedia communications
on-the-fly – enhancing mobile device functionality to deliver a new user
experience with latency-free broadband applications.

You can view a copy of the FCC proposal online on a variety of websites
including:

I’ll be sure to keep you apprised of any updates as we move forward
regarding this exciting development.
