Back10/5/2004 AUSTIN--Central Texas companies Momentum Online and Summa Associates have formed a strategic alliance and a new company that is the first in Texas to offer broadband over power lines. Broadband Horizons (www.broadbandhorizons.com) is a leading provider of BPL and other wireless services to small and medium-sized communities through municipally-owned utilities throughout the United States.
Momentum Online is an Internet service provider and Summa Associates specializes in building community-wide Internet networks. The company’s principals—Bob McClung and Michael Bates, respectively—along with several investors, formed Broadband Horizons.
According to McClung of Momentum Online, “This new venture is a natural outgrowth of our companies’ successful partnerships in building community networks across Texas.
