Ambient Congratulates FCC Commissioner Martin on His Appointment as FCC ChairmanBOSTON --(Business Wire)-- March 16, 2005 -- Ambient Corporation (OTCBB: ABTG), a leader in Power Line Communications (PLC), congratulates Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Kevin J. Martin on his appointment to head up the FCC. He has been a vocal proponent of Broadband over Power Line (BPL) systems. As recently as October 14, 2004, in a separate statement issued regarding the FCC's "Report and Order," Chairman Martin stated, "Because power lines are ubiquitous - reaching virtually every community and every home - BPL systems have the potential to become a last-mile solution throughout the United States. I have seen a BPL system first hand, and I came away very impressed." Chairman Martin further stated, "I was impressed not only with the fast transmission speed, but also with the ease with which the home could be networked. Simply plugging a device into an electrical outlet enabled it to communicate with devices plugged into outlets in other rooms, as well as connect to the Internet. There is no question that this technology has terrific potential." Ambient looks forward to working with Chairman Martin and the FCC in promoting the widespread adoption of PLC technologies.
