Broadwing Communications Supports FCC's VoIP E911 Ruling

Broadwing Communications, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of Broadwing Corporation (NASDAQ: BWNG), applauds the Federal Communications Commission ruling that voice over IP (VoIP) service providers connected to the public switched telephone network provide "Enhanced 911" emergency telephone service to their customers within the next several months.

"Broadwing commends the FCC for acting on this issue and looks forward to reviewing its detailed ruling when it is released," said Larry Strickling, Chief Regulatory Officer for Broadwing Communications. "Since February 2002 Broadwing has been at the forefront of bringing 911 and E911 capabilities to VoIP providers and end customers. We will continue to lead in this area as the advanced capabilities of VoIP come to define the mainstream of next generation communications."

Broadwing's long heritage in telephony and its PSTNConnect family of services for origination and termination of VoIP calls to Broadwing's nationwide PSTN network have positioned the company as a major provider of standard and customized E911 services to businesses, universities, government organizations, enhanced service providers and nationwide carriers. Broadwing currently provides E911 services to VoIP providers serving tens of thousands of consumers and businesses that have selected VoIP as their telephone service of choice.
