(OTCBB: KEYO) OMAHA, Neb.--(Aug 5)-- KeyOn Communications Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: KEYO), one of the largest providers of wireless broadband, satellite video and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services in the United States, announced today it has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the wireless broadband assets of SouthWest Wireless Net, extending the company's network footprint in southwestern Minnesota. New Vision Co-Op, a rural cooperative in Minnesota, recognized that there were very few available options for broadband in the areas its serves. As a result, New Vision created SouthWest Wireless Net in order to provide its constituents with vital broadband services. SouthWest Wireless Net is KeyOn's third acquisition of broadband assets from regional cooperatives who have deployed wireless networks in effort to provide additional valued services to their members and constituents. The SouthWest Wireless Net acquisition was completed as part of KeyOn's Rural UniFi acquisition program, a strategic acquisition initiative designed for independent wireless broadband companies to realize immediate value from their networks by combining with KeyOn. The acquisition of SouthWest Wireless Net is KeyOn's fifth in 2010 and tenth overall. Jason Lazar, KeyOn's Vice President of Corporate Development and General Counsel, stated, "The purchase of SouthWest Wireless Net increases our footprint in Minnesota, adds to our top-line revenues and contributes positive EBITDA immediately. The transaction allows SouthWest's parent company, New Vision Cooperative, to focus on its core grain, feed and agronomy businesses while confidently transitioning its wireless broadband customers to a leading and quality provider of wireless broadband service."

(OTCBB: ABHD) PHOENIX, AZ -- 08/05/10 -- AbTech Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: ABHD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that ongoing efforts are underway in order to place AbTech and its water cleaning Smart Sponge technology at the forefront of companies attempting to aid in ongoing, long term, oil cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico, where current estimates suggests the disaster is the largest accidental oil spill in history with 4.9 million barrels of oil released into the Gulf waters. The Company has registered with the Deep Horizon Command Center, and is a registered vendor in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. AbTech has also submitted individual and joint consortium proposals to the Interagency Alternative Technology Assessment Program (IATAP) and is currently in various phases of testing with the Incident Command Centers in the Gulf region. Additionally, AbTech's Smart Sponge has been acknowledged by the U.S. Coast Guard as having a "Potential for Benefit" and the Company is working with local contractors in a concerted effort to deploy its products in order to aid in restoring this fragile and valuable environment. AbTech's Smart Sponge products configured expressly for this tragic event consist of both absorptive and filtration devices offering specific remediation value unlike other commonly used suppression methods. Deployed behind containment booms, oil is absorbed immediately on contact and in published tests Smart Sponge has achieved 10 minute absorption rates of 8.6:1 for Kuwait Light Crude and 3.4:1 for North Slope Crude. The product offers less expensive, non-hazardous disposal because once oil is absorbed, the Smart Sponge transforms the pollutants into a stable solid for easy recycling, providing a closed-loop solution to water pollution. It is worth noting that AbTech Industries originally certified its Smart Sponge technologies for Oil Spill Recovery in 1996. Since that time AbTech has garnered extensive expertise through its concerted focus on Stormwater, Industrial, Military, and other remedial applications, and as a result, AbTech products are currently deployed in over 13,000 locations, in 36 states, and various countries around the world. Significantly, the Environmental Protection Agency lists AbTech's Ultra-Urban Filter series with Smart Sponge technology as a Best Management Practice (BMP) under the federal guidelines that local governments must follow.
