We are very excited to have the opportunity to include Argon in our portfolio of business development and "enterprise value model," says Mr. Gray. The Company will utilize an LBO type purchase strategy to including an "earned buyout", commercial loan, CCI Stock and cash derived from its Convertible Preferred Loan Program.

About Argon Technologies, Inc.
Argon Technologies was founded in 1987 by Marco Coelho to provide broadband wireless access to rural communities in Northeast Texas without a choice of broadband Internet services other than Cable and DSL. Argon now offers wireless broadband access to more than 257,000 homes in 102 rural communities. The Company has done very little advertising outside of "word of mouth" and has grown to more than 1,500 wireless broadband subscribers generating more than $900K in annual sales. The Company has been able to keep cost down and produce a very high EBITA profit near $300K annually. "Argon's present position is enviable because it believes that, without spending another dollar on infrastructure, capital equipment, employees, or bandwidth, the Company can more than double its current customer base and more than triple current profits," says Mr. Coelho, President of Argon.
About Competitive Companies, Inc.
Competitive Companies, Inc. (CCI) is a Nevada Corporation with offices in San Antonio, Texas, Eau Clair, Wisconsin and Scottsdale, Arizona. The Company began operations in 1998 to provide telecommunication services including data, voice and video to multiple dwelling units (MDU's) in tier-one markets. As Congress passed "open access" legislation, larger capitalized organizations made it difficult for the Company to compete in that market. Thus, CCI has refocused its business model to delivering wireless broadband Internet to rural communities nationwide in a plan to build a network of profitable but "undervalued" WISP operations thus substantially increasing its enterprise value. Management believes this is the "right" time to participant aggressively in the acquisition of small WISP operations unable to expand due to limited financial resources available for small private companies. The Company plans to acquire approximately 50 to 60 WISP operations over the next 36 months accumulating to more than $100M in annual revenues while maintaining profitability. CCI has assembled a strong management team with extensive communications industry, financial, and business management experience.
