New Orleans, LA, June 24, 2003 � Today, at the Hospitality Information Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC), StayOnline announced that it will soon be marketing its high-speed, Wi-Fi Internet services together with the AT&T Wireless brand at participating StayOnline hotel locations. 

StayOnline�s network of more than 130 hotels representing over 18,000 hotel rooms is one of the most comprehensive Wi-Fi networks in the hospitality industry with networks in more than 20 national lodging brands.  Hotel guests staying at properties using StayOnline�s wireless, high-speed networks, will soon be greeted by a co-branded web page featuring the familiar AT&T Wireless logo.  Current AT&T Wireless Wi-Fi subscribers will simply be able to utilize their existing accounts to log on to the service.  Single-use access will be available to non-AT&T Wireless subscribers, who will also have the option of signing up for one of the AT&T Wireless Wi-Fi service plans.   Information about these plans can be found at www.attws.com/wifi.

�This is great news for the hotels who currently have StayOnline�s high-speed wireless access points installed and for many more who are considering it,� said Thierry Roch, Executive Director of Historic Hotels of America.  �People know and trust the AT&T Wireless name for delivering high-quality wireless services.�

�Business travelers are always looking for ways to stay connected to their critical corporate information while on the road,� said Abhi Ingle, vice president of business data solutions for AT&T Wireless Mobile Multimedia Services.  �StayOnline�s experience and existing presence in the hospitality space was a perfect fit for us.  AT&T Wireless is committed to offering the broadest selection of wireless data offerings to meet the growing demands of today�s mobile professional.�
