Under terms of the contract, RMI.NET will provide data and voice
connectivity, Internet access and communications services throughout the
school district and related facilities. The elementary school district
secured a majority portion of the funding for the upgrade through the federal
E-rate program, which subsidizes technology development for schools across the
nation.
"This contract matches RMI.NET's strengths as a convergent communications
and e-commerce solutions provider with the needs of the West Fresno Elementary
School District," said Douglas H. Hanson, chairman and chief executive officer
for RMI.NET. "It is equally rewarding that our efforts will go toward
improving the quality of communications for the elementary school district."
Hanson noted that RMI.NET is pursuing similar efforts to provide improved
communications services at school districts across the nation.
E-rate is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company
(USAC), a private, not-for-profit organization. USAC is responsible for
providing every state and territory in the nation with access to affordable
telecommunications services through federal funds. All of the country's
communities -- including public and private schools, public libraries, rural
health care providers, low-income neighborhoods and remote communities -- are
eligible to seek discounts for communications services.
Denver-based RMI.NET, Inc., formerly Rocky Mountain Internet, is a
national commerce solutions provider focusing on e-commerce and convergent
communications. The company specializes in e-business applications; web
