?This announcement is consistent with our Broadband Initiative, further demonstrating our ongoing commitment to expand our high-speed offerings,? according to Sitestar Chairman and CEO, Frank Erhartic, Jr. ?We already have a nice wireless DSL Internet network in the Lynchburg, Virginia area and expanding this to the Martinsville area makes a lot of sense.?

?Sitestar?s Wireless DSL Internet provides another attractive broadband solution for our customers,? commented Joseph Albanese, Executive Vice President and Director of Business Development for Sitestar. ?Few companies our size are able to offer the wide array of high-speed Internet services that we do.
