United Online to Use Covad Network in DSL Expansion

United Online Inc. will expand its recently launched NetZero DSL broadband Internet service offering using the Covad Communications Group Inc. network.

The agreement allows United Online to offer NetZero broadband services to DSL-eligible customers within Covad’s service area.

United Online estimated that with the expansion NetZero will be able to offer broadband services to approximately 30 percent to 35 percent of United Online's current ISP customer base. The expansion is expected to be in place near the end of the first quarter of 2007, United Online said.

Pricing and other terms of services will be made available closer to the time of launch.
