U.S. Cellular Introduces Web Browser For Cell Phones

nweb™ For easyedge^SM Offers Customers More Choices When
Surfing The Web

CHICAGO, Nov 16, 2004 - U.S. Cellular, in conjunction with wireless
software developer Novarra, tomorrow will launch nweb™, an Internet browser that provides access to the World Wide Web over cell phones. Available exclusively from U.S. Cellular, nweb may be purchased on a
daily or monthly basis through easyedge^SM, the company's wireless
data service. The nweb application enables customers to surf anywhere
on the Web and easily link to an extensive number of sites designed for
cell phone screens. Additionally, the new service includes a first-of-its-kind password protection for cell phones, at no additional charge, enabling parental control of Web sites intended for mature audiences.

     "Unlike other mobile browsers designed for cell phones, nweb gives customers complete control over the content they choose to view and not be limited to Web sites selected by their wireless providers," said Alan D. Ferber, vice president of marketing for U.S. Cellular. "nweb provides a very flexible mobile web browsing experience. With that in mind, it was imperative that we also develop a password protection tool to give customers control of mature content."

    For the first time, Novarra's nweb makes millions of Web sites fast and usable on many popular mobile phones. Its network platform optimizes Web sites automatically to best fit each phone's unique display capabilities. In addition, a series of links to popular Web sites has been identified based on ease of use, content, and popularity. These links include content such as finance, news, sports, travel and more.

    "Accessing the Internet from a wireless phone should be as simple as making a phone call," said Bruce Simpson, Novarra's chief operating officer. "After working closely with U.S. Cellular to deploy the nweb platform, we feel this product will provide users with an experience unparalleled in the industry."

    The BREW-based application costs subscribers to U.S. Cellular's easyedge service $4.99 a month or $1.19 a day.
