Everest Activates Johnson County Expansion

(Lenexa, KS.) – Everest Connections, an independent provider of high-speed Internet, cable TV and telephone services in the Kansas City area, is activating a significant expansion program in Johnson County beginning next month. The company's network currently services 70,000 homes in the Kansas City metropolitan area. They have secured independent financing to fund this expansion and future growth with Kansas City-based Gold Bank.

"We are very excited about our expansion in Johnson County and our financing arrangement with Gold Bank," remarked Phil Spencer, President of Everest. "Whenever our employees are out in the community, people are constantly asking us to please come to their neighborhood. With this expansion, they can see our commitment to the community as well as our ability to offer competitive rates in the marketplace."

Everest's presence in Johnson County results in residents enjoying the lowest priced high-speed Internet, cable TV and telephone service in Kansas City. Expanding the network means more residents will have a chance to subscribe to lower rates and take advantage of Everest's unparalleled customer service. Charges for telecommunication and cable TV services outside the Everest footprint are typically 40% higher due to the lack of competition.

Everest is a locally owned network-based provider of cable TV, high-speed Internet and telephone services in the Kansas City area. Everest services are presently available in Lenexa, Shawnee, Overland Park and the Brookside, Waldo and Red Bridge areas of South Kansas City. Everest employs approximately 170 employees and is headquartered in Lenexa. More information on Everest is available online at www.everestkc.com.
