DENVER, CO, August 7, 2007 – PacketFront Inc. announces acquisition of DynamicCity

PacketFront, the pioneer of open-access broadband networking, today announced its US subsidiary, PacketFront Inc., has completed its acquisition of DynamicCity, the operational force behind the groundbreaking UTOPIA initiative.

"This acquisition is about taking the best thinking in North America on open access broadband and public broadband initiatives and combining it under one roof," said Matt Wenger, President of PacketFront Inc. "Our most important product is our customer's success and we all know that technology alone does not guarantee that. With the addition of the DynamicCity team we can now offer the local experience, knowledge and capacity our clients need to design, finance, build and manage large-scale, successful open access networks."

Keith Wilson, former CEO of DynamicCity and now VP of Asset Management for PacketFront Inc., concurs, "We are very enthusiastic about joining with PacketFront. They have what are undisputedly the best tools and systems for managing open, multi-provider networks. Combined with our asset management experience and capabilities we can deliver the premier turn-key solution for open networks in the marketplace. It is a positive move for us and our customers."

"PacketFront's acquisition of DynamicCity is a truly exciting development for the UTOPIA network," says Paul Morris, Executive Director of UTOPIA, Utah's 14-city municipal open access fiber network. "Adding PacketFront's open access technologies and global experience to DynamicCity's proven track record of outstanding network operations and asset management is just great news for us and our subscribers. We're looking forward to taking our customer's network experience to the next level with this world-class organization."

Partners of both companies will benefit as well, as the acquisition enables PacketFront to expand on its opportunities aggressively. "A successful open network is built on the work of tens if not hundreds of companies," said Wenger. "Both PacketFront and DynamicCity have long treasured our strong relations with our finance, design, engineering and construction partners, other technology vendors, and of course the service providers of data, voice, video and other innovative applications that make our open networks so successful and unique. We look forward to growing these strategic relationships further with our accelerating expansion."

The company will integrate its operations in North America over the next several months, with the Utah office emerging as the primary operations center and the new Denver location serving as the Management and Sales office.

LINDON, UT, April 18, 2005 – Keith Wilson, CEO of DynamicCity, the leading company to design, finance, build and operate last mile, fiber-optic, Open Service Provider Networks™, is scheduled to keynote at Digital City Expo (http://www.digitalcityexpo.com), the premier broadband communications event, taking place April 18-19 at the Hyatt Regency in Reston, VA.

Digital City Expo is the first and only educational forum that seeks to address the economic, financial, technical, and infrastructure issues of municipal broadband deployment. Keynote presenter Wilson will discuss the principles and value propositions for the Open Service Provider Network™ (OSPN™) model. This model separates ownership of the network from those that provide retail services enabling the laws inherent in a free market economy to thrive. DynamicCity’s unique model provides true broadband (minimum speeds of 100 Mbps) while provisioning wholesale broadband service from competing service providers.

“Communities nowadays don’t dispute the importance of broadband as economic vitality is dependent on the availability of these advanced communication services,” said Wilson. “What they are coming to grips with is the best, most feasible model for broadband delivery. Municipal broadband fiber is gaining momentum, and we are seeing early signs of success of the OSPN model through the UTOPIA project, the nation’s largest municipal, Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) deployment.”

According to the FTTH Council and Telecommunications Industry Association, as of October 2004, there were 217 communities in 37 states utilizing fiber-optic networks for their communications services. And according to an article in National Journal’s Technology Daily, in the period of October 2003 – October 2004, the number of fiber homes quintupled to 970,000.

“True broadband is a key component for communities to be competitive regionally, nationally and globally, and for revitalizing both urban and rural areas,” said Wilson. “Affordable access to advanced communication services is vital to a community’s economic development and educational opportunities.”

In the wake of the telecom activity that has taken place recently, telecom giants are dominating the landscape these days and choices with true broadband services are dwindling for consumers. Companies like DynamicCity are enabling FTTH projects that are open to all carriers. The company's OSPN model enables competition and innovation from a range of competing service providers. The OSPN model enables communities to break free from the monopolistic constraints and pricing practices of traditional carriers and cable operators. 

About Digital City Expo
Digital City Expo, April 18-19 at the Hyatt Regency in Reston, VA, is the first and only forum that seeks to address the many issues municipal leaders face in deploying broadband communications networks. Our "solutions oriented" approach is unique and offers a wide range of instruction as well as practical advice in areas municipal leaders need the most. Our goal for each attendee is to walk away with the knowledge and know-how they need to drive results that better serve their communities.

DynamicCity Announces First Rollout of MSTAR ’s UTOPIA-Powered Municipal Fiber Service in Orem, Utah

MSTARmetro Delivers Breakthrough Internet Service Starting at 10 Mbps – More than 3x Faster and Less Expensive than Traditional Cable Internet Access

OREM , UT. — March 7, 2005 – DynamicCity, an Open Access Architect for transformational fiber-to-the-home projects, announced today the first rollout of breakthrough broadband fiber service to the home utilizing the Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) network. UTOPIA is based on DynamicCity’s Open Service Provider Network™ (OSPN) network in Orem, Utah. Residents now have access to the MSTARmetro service, offering 10 Mbps of upload and download Internet access speed for $39.95 per month, representing 3 times faster service at less cost than cable broadband access. On a per megabit basis, the cost of MSTARmetro is less than $4 per month, compared to at least $15 per megabit for either cable or DSL access, and up to $200 or more for dial-up.

MSTAR is the first local service provider to take advantage of UTOPIA, the largest municipal fiber project in the country, including 14 founding cities and 160,000 potential subscribers throughout Utah.

“We are very encouraged by the response MSTAR is receiving for the initial service offerings“ said Keith Wilson, CEO at DynamicCity, the company responsible for designing, building, and operating the network infrastructure for the UTOPIA project. “ Orem households are seeing the immediate value of a municipal fiber model that offers true broadband with blazing speeds and breakthrough pricing.”

MSTARmetro will offer up to 100 Mbps service in the coming months for some of the fastest residential Internet speeds in the world, along with integrated telephone and television service at dramatically lower costs than other service packages. Now MSTARmetro customers can browse the web and even transfer huge files, including photos, videos, and other files with virtually no wait time.

“The OSPN model finally gives us a fair playing field to compete on” remarked Jon Hansen, CEO of MSTAR. “It’s a model that allows us to offer services that we normally could not offer. Operating on UTOPIA is like a dream come true. We can sell breakthrough services to our customers and we don’t have to rely on our chief competitor to make the service work. This is great for the community, great for competition, and I believe will allow Utah to regain a technology leadership role once again.”

“It’s hard to describe in words how fast the MSTARmetro Internet service is,” said Floyd Nordin, one of the early subscribers to the UTOPIA –powered service. “Browsing is a breeze, and uploading large files, even photographs and videos that used to take forever seems to happen instantly. I’m hooked.”

The new service is the first implementation of the Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) project to provide municipal fiber to residents of Orem, Brigham City , Lindon, Perry, Cedar City, Midvale, Riverton, Cedar Hills, Murray, Tremonton, Centerville, West Valley City, Layton and Payson. 71 percent of UTOPIA city residents support public/private fiber optic networks, and 60 percent of Utah’s population lives in cities adjacent to UTOPIA members.

Through a municipally owned and financed network, DynamicCity is enabling UTOPIA resident’s alternative access and enhanced consumer choice and breakthrough video, voice, and data services to the consumer at significantly reduced cost.

“We’re thrilled to see the benefits of a new communications model at work,” said Paul Morris, UTOPIA executive director. “ Orem consumers are excited to get up and running, and are telling all their friends and neighbors about it.”

UTOPIA Project to Deploy Riverstone's New 15008 Ethernet Edge Router; Active Ethernet Network Provides Basis for Triple Play Services

SANTA CLARA, Calif. Dec. 6, 2004—Riverstone Networks (PINK SHEETS: RSTN) today announced that it has expanded its deployment with the Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) to include Riverstone's newest product, the Riverstone 15008 Ethernet Edge Router, in the network's core. UTOPIA, which is utilizing an Active Ethernet architecture, is the nation's largest municipal fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network.

Introduced in June 2004, the Riverstone 15008 Ethernet Edge Router is an MPLS-based, 10-gigabit carrier Ethernet router featuring a modular operating system for exceptional software reliability. By using the Riverstone 15008, Utopia will have the scalability, reliability and traffic engineering needed to deliver a mix of broadband-intensive applications such as video conferencing, high definition TV (HDTV) and data storage, with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). This, in turn, will allow service providers utilizing the wholesale UTOPIA network to deliver “triple play services” —bundled voice, video and data applications--to their customers.

“The Riverstone 15008 gives us plenty of room to grow the network, both in terms of households and services,” said Paul Morris, UTOPIA’s Executive Director. “The combination of the 15008’s traffic engineering features and software reliability means that end users will be able to enjoy such applications as video downloads and IPTV simultaneously without compromised quality or service interruptions.”

The UTOPIA network utilizes DynamicCity’s patent-pending Open Service Provider Network(TM) (OSPN) model, which separates the ownership of the network from the delivery of retail services. The OSPN model enables local communities to provide the public with generally accessible, affordable and reliable bandwidth for voice, video and data services from a range of competing service providers - and at unprecedented speeds of 100Mbps to 1Gbps per house. End-users will only pay for the services provided over the network, not access.

“By using an Active Ethernet architecture, the open networks like UTOPIA can have the broadband required for supporting multiple service providers, bandwidth intensive services such as HDTV, and the trouble-shooting capabilities needed to provide and maintain high quality service,” said Keith Wilson, DynamicCity's Chief Executive Officer. “Riverstone's MPLS-based Ethernet technology delivers the scalability, the reliability and the manageability warranted by a network this size.”

Riverstone began shipping its RS routers to UTOPIA in August 2004. The entire UTOPIA project is expected to take three years to build at an estimated cost of $300 million. Upon completion, the UTOPIA network will provide a wholesale active Ethernet network to approximately 140,000 residential and business subscribers in 14 Utah cities.

Riverstone Networks, Inc. (RSTN.PK) is a leading provider of carrier-class solutions for next generation metro Ethernet networks. Riverstone’s metro routers and provisioning solutions deliver the ease of use, cost effectiveness, and flexibility that carriers require in meeting their customers’ networking requirements in support of voice, video, and data services. Riverstone uniquely permits carriers to offer homogeneous services across existing revenue-generating networks and new Ethernet deployments.

UTOPIA Obtains Funding; Phase I Begins Immediately

LINDON, UT, July 29, 2004—The Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) on Thursday closed $85 million in revenue bonds to finance Phase I of the fiber-to-the-premises advanced communications network that will serve residents of 11 pledging member cities.

Design and engineering work on Phase I will now accelerate, with construction to begin in August. Phase I will connect more than 50,000 premises in portions of six cities in Salt Lake County (Murray, West Valley and Midvale) and Utah County (Orem, Payson and Lindon). UTOPIA is one of the largest fiber-to-the-premises projects in the country.

“It has been a very long time in coming, with a lot of twists and turns, but we are thrilled to get moving on this open, Big Broadband network that will make a free market of competitive digital services available to our citizens and businesses,” said UTOPIA chair Dan Snarr, mayor of Murray.

“Leaders in our member cities have been visionary and courageous in working through numerous obstacles,” said Paul Morris, UTOPIA executive director. “We’re more convinced than ever that this is the telecommunications model of the future-an open broadband network that will allow consumers and businesses to choose advanced telecommunications services, video entertainment and ultra-high-speed Internet access from a variety of competing service providers.”

Phase 1 of the project is expected to be completed within a year. Phase II, which will expand the network to other cities (Brigham City, Centerville, Layton, Perry, and Tremonton) and additional connections in the Phase I cities, will require additional financing.

The specific location of the first areas to be built is still to be determined. “We’re looking at detailed engineering data and specifications in three or four locations,” said Roger Black, chief operating officer and treasurer.

UTOPIA is an interlocal entity, authorized under provisions of Utah law, with a current membership of 14 Utah cities. Its mission is to design, finance, build, operate and maintain an all-fiber telecommunications infrastructure to be operated as an open, public, wholesale network over which private providers of retail digital services will reach their customers.

Tax dollars will not be used to build or operate the system, which will rely on revenues from service providers to repay the bonds. Eleven of the participating cities have pledges that guarantee a portion of the entire project. The pledges may only be called upon if the project is unsuccessful. The financing plan has built-in safeguards that enable the Board of Directors to monitor the success of the project as it proceeds and take corrective actions to minimize city risks.

Closing on the financing came Thursday after the UTOPIA Board of Directors authorized the sale of bonds in a resolution unanimously approved in a board meeting on Tuesday, July 27.

Deployment of the network should proceed with little delay because contracts are in place with key vendors and service providers. DynamicCity is responsible for the design, implementation and management of the network. Tetra Tech Construction Services, Inc., will construct the network. Communications Technology Services, Inc., will provide deployment services in premises. AT&T will be the first company to offer advanced voice, video and data services over the network.
