DENVER, Dec. 10, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- USURF America, Inc. (AMEX:UAX), a provider of wireless, high-speed broadband communications services, announced today they have entered into a three-year agreement with Sterling Network Services, LLC, ("Sterling") to provide bandwidth, carrier connectivity, and a point-of-presence (POP) for the Arizona market. USURF will collocate equipment at Sterling's 25,000 square foot data center located in the Downtown Phoenix Technology Exchange.
