9:25a ET January 22, 2008 (Business Wire)
Podium Venture Group, Inc (Pink Sheets: PODM) subsidiary Coastal Broadband has been awarded a national 3.65 GHz license for use in its upcoming WiMax deployments.

"Receiving a national license for the 3.65 GHz is huge step in Coastal Broadband's growth. Coastal Broadband is expanding its service offerings with WiMax technologies to better accommodate the growing bandwidth needs in today's digital world," said Rob Loud, President of Podium Venture Group.

"Coastal Broadband has been awarded a national 3.65 GHz license for use in WiMax deployments. Requests for Quote (RFQs) have been broadcast to those vendors with FCC approved license equipment. While there are varying opinions about the success of this equipment in true rural deployments, the gear will certainly fill a niche in the rural and urban market for Coastal and provide flexibility. This is just another arrow in Coastal's quiver that can be used to slay the dial-up dragon that is terrorizing un-served and underserved areas throughout the Southeast," stated Ron Ham, President of Coastal Broadband.
