Metairie and Kenner. The continuous service extends north of Baton
Rouge to Port Allen, Scotlandville, Baker and Zachary. The new
launch in southern Louisiana follows the introduction late last
year of Axcess Broadband service in Monroe and Shreveport.
Nationally, Alltel has introduced Axcess Broadband in metropolitan
areas such as Tampa, Charlotte, Cleveland and Phoenix; in smaller
cities such as Little Rock, Ark.; Raleigh, N.C., and Savannah, Ga.,
and in towns such as Grand Haven, Mich.; Dothan, Al., and Durango,
Colo. The company plans to launch Axcess Broadband in additional
markets across the country in 2007, giving it one of the largest
EVDO footprints of any U.S. carrier. Axcess Broadband is available
for $59.99 a month for unlimited use with qualifying voice plans.
In addition to supporting a wide range of productivity enhancing
business applications, it enables Alltel�s Axcess TV, with more
