Trial Date Set for One Speedus Patent Suit Against Verizon Wireless

NEW YORK, June 8  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Speedus Corp. (NASDAQ:SPDE) today announced that a trial date of January 7, 2007 has been set for the law suit that Speedus' unit CellularVision Technology & Telecommunications, L.P. (CT&T) filed on May 11 against Cellco Partnership (d/b/a Verizon Wireless). This suit, Case No. 06-60665-Civ-Huck/Simonton, is in connection with U.S. Patent No. 4,747,160. Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Two separate complaints were filed in United States District Court in the Southern District of Florida, in which Speedus asserts Verizon Wireless is infringing two Speedus patents. U.S. Patent No. 5,949,793, "Transmission of Digital and Analog Signals in the Same Band", covers cellular transmissions using simultaneous analog and digital technology in the same bandwidth, which Verizon is infringing in its operation of Cellular phone systems nationwide. U.S. Patent No. 4,747,160, "Low Power Multi-Function Cellular Television System", covers the use of cellular systems to deliver television signals, which is also infringed by Verizon.

Separate suits in connection with these two patents have also been filed against Alltel Corp.
