Worldwide Wireless Networks as the Western
Regional Vice President of Sales.

In addition to being a reseller of high-speed access, 1st Universe
also offers web development and hosting and has telecom reseller
contracts with major carriers. ``This acquisition not only
brings us new revenues and new customers, but also an expanded
product line and a seasoned telemarketing team,'' said Jack Tortorice,
CEO of Worldwide Wireless Networks. ``As we implement our business
plan, we expect to make more acquisitions like this one to help build our
revenue stream and add talent to our growing staff needs.''
