(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) "TollBooth™" platform.

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."
