American Mobile Liberates International Travelers With New eLink Service, Says American Mobile CEO.Business Editors LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 2000 In an in-depth radio interview with CEOLive.com, American Mobile Satellite Corp. (Nasdaq:SKYC) Chief Executive Officer Walter V. Purnell discussed how the company's eLink allows wireless users access to their desktop e-mail from the palm of their hand. "Basically, it means freedom and choice," said Purnell. "It's the ability to do productive work in dead time ... at airports, in limos, any time or place you travel." According to Purnell, eLink is dramatically different than other wireless providers. "People have too many e-mail addresses," said Purnell. "One for work, one for home, one for wireless ... Our eLink agent solves this problem by assigning the eLink device the Internet address of your desktop PC." "Nothing could be simpler," said Purnell, "than a single e-mail address which allows users a total, portable solution to their e-mail needs." The strength of American Mobile, according to Purnell, is the company's network. "American Mobile offers the broadest coverage of any network in the country. We've got you covered virtually anywhere you go, and you'll never have to worry about roaming charges," stated Purnell. Purnell also discusses such competitors as Nasdaq:OMPT OMPT Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy , Nasdaq:NXTL, Nasdaq:AIRO AIRO Air Officer AIRO ACT Internet Reporting Option AIRO Army Imagery Requirements Office (US Army) , NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :BEL, NYSE:FON, NYSE:PCS, NYSE:T, Nasdaq:QCOM QCOM Qualcomm, Inc.
