BOSTON, Oct. 14, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Towerstream (Nasdaq:TWER), a leading 4G service provider delivering high-speed wireless Internet access to businesses in 11 major metropolitan areas in the U.S. will provide high-speed wireless business broadband connectivity in Boston's Copley Square for the second annual Boston Book Festival, taking place on Saturday, October 16.
Deborah Z. Porter, Founder and President of the Boston Book Festival said, "Boston is a city with an extremely rich tradition in literature and high technology, but until last year Boston did not have a public event devoted to celebrating book culture. When creating the Boston Book Festival, I felt it was incumbent upon us to acknowledge Boston's character as a center of technological innovation by offering festival attendees a high-speed wireless Internet connection at our outdoor festival events. We encourage attendees to blog about the festival and continue the conversation in real time through social media platforms, and Towerstream's portable high-speed Internet connection provides our plugged-in attendees with a simple solution to accessing the web."
Towerstream CEO Jeff Thompson said, "Towerstream prides itself on our ability to serve the needs of businesses large and small, and we take great satisfaction in being chosen to provide high-speed wireless Internet to the attendees of important community events like the Boston Book Festival. Since the festival is largely educational in nature, our outdoor wireless Internet connection will help foster impactful online discussions between festival attendees in real time."
The Boston Book Festival takes place in various locations in and around Copley Square including the Boston Public Library, Back Bay Events Center, and others on Saturday, October 16 from 10:00 am - 10:00 pm.
