ICOA Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Wi-Fi Internet Service Providers, LLC

  ICOA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ICOA), a national provider of wireless broadband Internet networks and managed services in high-traffic public locations, announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the membership interest of Wi-Fi Internet Service Providers, LLC (WISP), a high-speed wireless broadband network service provider. The proposed transaction is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and normal due diligence and ICOA believes it will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2011.

ICOA has been working with WISP for some time now, providing back-end and customer services support, and the synergies of the accounts they have, coupled with ICOA's current footprint should provide both an easy transition and potential savings that will accrete to the Company's bottom line in short order.

As the Company looks to grow its national footprint, the acquisition of various Wi-Fi providers offers an opportunity to bring economies of scale to all the operations.

WISP's business has already been transparent to ICOA because of the ability to look at their operations and customers, and Management believes that the due diligence leading to a closing will be accomplished with minimal difficulty.
