 Dr. Cubley, "The proposed merger of Eagle Wireless International and ClearWorks.net represents a unique opportunity to increase value for shareholders of both companies. Eagle has a strong R&D, manufacturing and product background and has developed a leading-edge array of Convergent Set-Top Boxes (CSTBs) and wireless products. In addition, Eagle has a significant capability in "last mile" cable and fiber through its recent acquisitions of atlanticpacific communications and ComTel Communications. By combining Eagle's products, services and existing contracts with the signed contracts ClearWorks.net has through its Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH (Fiber To The Home) See FTTP. ) program, we have created the potential of capturing a substantial base of recurring revenues from several hundred thousand homes over the next few years."

 in over one thousand of these new homes and is starting to build its recurring revenue stream. The company's current contracts for 60,000 new homes represents potentially over $100 million dollars in recurring revenue each year after installation for the 25-year life of the contracts. Of course, each BDS subscriber will now give Eagle an opportunity to add its Convergent Set-Top Box and other convergent technology products to the contract. With the combined technical, financial and managerial capabilities of the two companies, our new company will be able to quickly and efficiently install the BDS requirements of the current ClearWorks.net contracts, ramp-up full production of the Eagle CSTBs and accelerate our combined marketing programs."

McClere also stated, "The combined company will address the emerging broadband market with products and services designed to meet the growing needs of consumers and their appetite for bandwidth. The increased value and technology of the combined companies will allow us to move into the coming broadband market at even greater speed. The merger will provide for a major step forward in capturing market share. I believe our shareholders will be rewarded by the increased size of the company and its improved ability to penetrate the market as a turnkey provider."

Terms of the merger call for each ClearWorks.net shareholder to receive four Eagle common shares for each five ClearWorks.net common shares surrendered. Dr. H.
