Falcon Broadband and Prime Time Communications Team-Up to Offer Cutting Edge Services
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Randy DeYoung, owner of Falcon Broadband, Inc., has announced that Falcon Broadband has signed a Letter of Intent to merge with Prime Time Communications of Englewood, Colorado. The proposed merger, which is subject to regulatory and other approvals, will further enhance Falcon's service offerings and support the continued expansion of its network within the City of Colorado Springs. The merger of Prime Time, an industry leader in fiber-to-the-home services and Falcon, a locally-owned company distinguished by its innovative network and high level of customer service, will create a Colorado Springs-based service provider delivering industry leading, cutting edge technology and services to local residents.
Prime Time will assist Falcon in its ongoing rollout of its fiber-to-the-home network and the deployment of its IP-based television, voice and Internet services. Prime Time's experience with deploying IP triple play networks will allow Falcon to accelerate its deployment of this platform and the unique services it can deliver. IP-based networks represent the next phase in the evolution of delivering video services. Todd Swanson, director of business development for Prime Time Communications, cites the merging of the Internet and television as an example of how IP-based networks will impact subscribers' lives by creating a truly interactive environment. "Having access to high definition entertainment and incredibly fast Internet speeds is just one aspect of the technology," he noted. "IP Television will completely change the way we watch TV, in much the same way that Digital Video Recorders and Video on Demand services are changing viewing habits today."
Established in 2005 to provide IP-based television, voice and Internet services to master-planned communities, Prime Time Communications has quickly become a leader in the field and currently has over 4,000 active subscribers in nine communities across the nation. Commenting on the partnership with Falcon, Mark Wentzlaff, the company's president, said, "Falcon Broadband is known for providing high quality services and we are delighted to have the opportunity to work with them in building a next generation triple play network that will set the Colorado Springs community apart." Randy DeYoung added, "Today's homeowners expect the latest technology and the best products and services, and we are pleased that Prime Time will assist Falcon in delivering that to our subscribers". Founded in 2003, Falcon Broadband provides video, internet and phone services to thousands of customers in El Paso County via broadband wired and wireless networks. With its recent voter-approved franchise with the City of Colorado Springs, Falcon Broadband is entering a market with 200,000 existing residential passings that is growing at the rate of 4,000 per year. Falcon has invested in Hitachi Telecom's GPON architecture for its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network. With GPON architecture, Falcon Broadband can provide an individual user with GigaBits/sec speeds. The technology partnership with Hitachi is key in positioning Falcon Broadband's customers for the future of entertainment and communications services.
