ICOA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ICOA), a national Provider of Wireless
Broadband Internet Networks and Managed Services in high-traffic
locations and a provider of Managed Services to Independent Wi-Fi
service providers, today announced that it is moving forward with
the actions required to expand its business and increase its
revenue as follows:
First, the Company has entered into negotiations to acquire a
privately held Wi-Fi Operator that provides Wi-Fi Services to
multiple venues. The Companies anticipate announcing a binding
Letter of Intent in November and completing the acquisition by
December 30th 2010.
Second, the Company is in negotiations to form a Joint Venture
(JV) with a privately held Wi-Fi Company that specializes in
providing Wi-Fi services to a large number of Multiple Dueling
Units. The Companies anticipate announcing a joint Memorandum of
Understanding in November and finalize a JV Operating Agreement in
December 2010.
Both transactions are very synergistic to ICOA's Wi-Fi
operations and will contribute positive revenue, accretive to
ICOA's bottom line. Through these opportunities, ICOA and the
operating companies expect to see significant benefits from the
cost reductions that can be realized.
The partnerships will utilize ICOA's experienced Support and
Customer Service Center combined with the award-winning Operating
Support System (OSS) "TollBoothâ„¢" platform. The intent is to
provide strong creative entrepreneurs with the combined advantages
of retaining local independence while enjoying the benefits of a
publicly listed company.
As stated in our previous press release of 10/13/2010 "ICOA's
new acquisition model is based on a share-for-share agreement,
usually starting with a minority position in the new partner. Cash
is not immediately released; this potentially ensures a higher and
more sustainable long-term profit. ICOA's Management says, "We are
convinced that our improved strategy will enable us to expand the
number of companies in our network and our revenue more rapidly
than originally anticipated."
