American Wireless and Belkin Forge Strategic Partnership to Deliver VoIP Services Nationwide

CAMPBELL, CA - June 22, 2005 - Capitalizing on its leadership in wireless telecommunications distribution, American Wireless will expand its reach into broadband communications by forming a strategic partnership with Belkin Corporation.
