ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.


On March 2, 2005, in an arms length transaction not involving any affiliates or related parties, US Wireless Online, Inc. (“USWL”) completed the acquisition of the assets and business of Air2Lan, Inc. (“A2L”) a Delaware Corporation, in exchange for 5,000,000 restricted shares of USWL Class A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share.  The Class A Preferred Stock has 10 votes per share immediately and has 10 to one conversion rights for shares of restricted common stock of the Company after a period of one year.  In addition, the Company also assumed liabilities for Air2Lan’s state and federal taxes related to the asset sale to the Company up to $200,000.


AIR2LAN, based in Jackson, Miss., was founded in December 1999. The company provides broadband Internet access, wireless local area networks (WLAN), Wi-Fi roaming services, point-to-point connectivity, and value-added Internet services to businesses, residential complexes, hotels, and municipal governments. AIR2LAN currently offers its services in Mississippi; Tennessee; Alabama; Louisiana; Texas and Arkansas.  AIR2LAN's broadband solutions include VoIP, wireless video and security systems, and broadband mobility offerings.


Cost-effective deployment of wireless broadband technology minimizes the high costs of providing service to an entire metropolitan area and allows AIR2LAN to deliver high-speed Internet connections that offer much greater speeds than cable and DSL, and are more cost-effective than wired T-1 lines. To solidify its strategy as a provider of comprehensive broadband telecom services, AIR2LAN has complemented its strategy by commercializing a national Internet mobility service that allows new and existing customers to access a broadband connection in public areas.


The Company acquired the Network Operations Center and all deployed assets of A2L along with a client base of approximately 1,100 corporate customers representing over 15,000 users.
