SBC to Assist Hurricane Victims Relocated to Houston

September 1, 2005

It has been reported that the victims of Hurricane Katrina who endured horrific conditions for several days at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans have started to arrive at the Houston Astrodome.

While food, clean water, shelter, security and the basic necessities of modern life will be the most important things they will look forward to, those who have been relocated may be able to re-establish contact with their relatives via a network of communication services that SBC Communications Inc. has started deploying at the Astrodome.

The company will provide the victims with up to 1,000 telephones with free local and long distance calling, free wireless service in conjunction with Cingular Wireless and SBC Yahoo! DSL service as well as computers with high-speed Internet access. The company also plans to install Wi-Fi hot spots to be used by public service personnel and media for wireless Internet access.

The company expects that most of the communications services at the Astrodome will be in place by the time the relocation effort is completed.
