What is FreeBandTM?

Today, broadband access is a necessity. Without reliable Internet access, job seekers can't find work, students can't complete their homework, and patients can't check medical records (see "Why Freeband Now"). According the FCC's National Broadband Plan, more than one third of American households don't have this critical service because it's too expensive, too complex, and difficult to use. FreeBand directly addresses these issues by providing people with free and/or low-cost access to the services they need on their cell phones, tablets, computers, and televisions using native applications (e.g., Android) - just like the ones we all already use on our cell phones. No longer will customers be tied to rigid and expensive monthly data plans, and many won't even need a computer to connect. Just better connectivity, for more people, with fewer restrictions.

FreeBand's "toll-free" approach is not only a secure, powerful technology platform that enables the delivery of compelling Internet experiences free to end-users, but it is already well-understood and accepted by anyone who has used a 1-800 voice service.

As for the online content provider and carrier, they can now deploy and maintain a flexible and optimized connectivity and content delivery platform that ensures a high value Internet experience to an entirely new online audience without compromising on quality, security, and ease of use.
