This collaboration with the world�s leading operator of hotels and resorts exclusively in the luxury class extends Wayport�s rapidly expanding U.S. presence in hotels, airports and conference centers, and accelerates its international market development. Four Seasons guests will have the ability to browse the Web, receive e-mail and access corporate networks throughout the hotel property without the boundaries of the wired world.

Deploying leading-edge services underscores Four Season�s dedication to provide guests with experiences of exceptional quality and convenience. Currently, in addition to the Four Seasons in Austin, Wayport service is available at the Four Seasons Las Vegas. In addition to Wayport�s laptop connectivity for guests, Four Seasons has selected Wayport�s VPN (Virtual Private Network) service to support Four Seasons� secure data connectivity requirements for administrative applications.

�The addition of the Four Seasons global account supports our commitment to broadly deploy the full power and convenience of the Internet in places travelers frequent the most,� said Brett Stewart, chief executive officer, Wayport, Inc. �This endorsement from Four Seasons is particularly gratifying because, in 1997 its Austin property was the first hotel in the world to offer Wayport�s proven services.�

Travelers accessing Wayport�s networks through wired and wireless Ethernet card connections get consistent, convenient access to the Internet, email and company networks at speeds 50 to 200 times faster than traditional dial-up modems or cellular-based wireless services.
