Question: Why does ERF Wireless believe this is a good time to expand its already significant wireless broadband presence across the southern part of North America?
Answer: Wireless broadband, by all expert accounts, is poised to be the next high-growth sector of the telecom industry.
Question: Why is ERF Wireless acquiring wireless broadband businesses rather than building its own wireless networks?
Answer: ERF Wireless is continuing to construct a portion of its existing wide area footprint. In many cases, however, it is more economical and time-efficient to acquire large blocks of wireless broadband coverage than to construct a similar footprint. In addition, the acquisition of the footprint eliminates a potential competitor in the geographical area where it is acquired.
Question: Where will ERF Wireless find wireless broadband companies to acquire?
Answer: ERF Wireless continues to compile a database of wireless broadband companies and their demographics. This database continues to be refined and is the basis for selecting specific acquisition targets.
Question: Why would a wireless broadband company have an interest in selling its network to ERF Wireless?
Answer: Most wireless broadband networks are privately funded and have a few hundred or, at most, a few thousand customers. Most of these companies have not grown to the size where the economies of scale are possible for all of their overhead functions and, therefore, still require some cash infusion by their investors. These investors are locked into their investment and have no near-term path to liquidity without selling to ERF Wireless or someone doing a similar rollup of wireless broadband networks. By combining a number of these networks, ERF Wireless can reach the economies of scale that produce positive cash flow and profitability. In this case, one plus one can actually equal three.
Question: Since ERF Wireless has its corporate headquarters located near Houston, Texas, will the acquisition strategy initially focus on the southern United States?
Answer: Not necessarily, although many of the broadband networks in the southern U.S. are more familiar to ERF Wireless and offer excellent acquisition opportunities.
Question: What wireless broadband technology does ERF Wireless primarily utilize in its national wireless broadband footprint?
Answer: ERF Wireless utilizes a combination of high-capacity, point-to-point, proprietary wireless technology, plus industry standard, point-to-multipoint technology, including Wi-Fi, WiMax and Meshing Technology.
Question: Since ERF Wireless was founded in 2003 and is still in the initial stages of its acquisition and growth campaign, why should an investor invest at this time?
Answer: Most public company stocks do not reflect their true value until a large number of investors become aware of the company through effective execution of the company business plan. Therefore, the upside potential of the stock is much greater if the investor can acquire the stock early, before Wall Street takes notice.
Question: How is ERF Wireless currently financed?
Answer: ERF Wireless currently serves almost 10,000 wireless commercial and residential customers throughout Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana. These recurring-revenue customers provide much of the operating overhead cash flow needed by ERF Wireless. The company also has created recurring revenues from its Enterprise Network Services (ENS) operations that provide secure wireless broadband networks and enterprise-class applications to financial institutions. Currently, ENS is operating in Texas and Louisiana, however, the company is pursuing opportunities on a nationwide basis. Income from these operations is generated through the company’s BranchNet, US-BankNet and WiNet services, as well as a number of additional advanced products and services.

Finally, ERF Wireless generates revenues by designing, building and providing content to triple-play Fiber-to-the-Home systems that deliver voice, video and data communications to exclusive gated communities. Additional operational and growth cash needs have also been provided by private investment from various individuals, institutional investors and other entities.

Question: Will ERF Wireless do an IPO in the future?

However, ERF Wireless does plan to move from trading on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board Exchange to a larger national exchange, such as the NASDAQ Small Cap Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, as soon as it achieves all of the listing requirements.
Question: Will ERF Wireless utilize public or private financing to fund its acquisition and growth campaign?
Answer: ERF Wireless is utilizing public financing. In addition, ERF Wireless is receiving private financing from high-net-worth individuals who recognize the potential from an investment in ERF Wireless before the acquisition and growth activity is fully reflected in the ERF Wireless stock pricing.
Question: When ERF Wireless issues stock in a Private Placement to raise capital, will the stock that is issued be immediately tradable?
Answer: No. Any new public stock issued as part of a Private Placement must first be issued as SEC Rule 144 restricted stock. It will then either be registered by the company or the holder may sell under Rule 144 after holding the stock for six months.
