"We're pleased and proud to welcome Log On America customers into the EarthLink family and to offer them the full range of EarthLink features, from the personal touch of our customer service representatives to the technology of our award-winning access, including the potential for high speed and wireless service," said Cliff Bryant, director of acquisitions for EarthLink.

David R. Paolo, Log On America chairman and CEO stated, "This transaction brings finality to Log On America's quest to become a complete, full-service provider of business communication technologies. The addition of EarthLink's wholesale agreement adds to a list of customers such as Savvis, where Log On America serves as a niche carriers carrier. We have put particular focus on our core competency of delivering commercial-grade communication services and that focus is now beginning to show rewards. As one of the few players left in its market, Log On America has demonstrated tremendous resilience and is poised to emerge as a successful competitor in the business communications space."
