DENVER, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Loreto Bay Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona
and Road 9 Inc. of Denver, Colorado have announced that The Villages of Loreto
Bay in Baja California Sur will become one of the most broadband capable
communities in Mexico. The two companies will own and operate a fiber to the
home communications network in the rapidly growing Mexican Baja resort and
residential community.

This new network will mean that Loreto Bay residents will have high
capacity internet, phone and video services. It will surpass the broadband
capacities most American and Canadian residents have in their present homes.

"Our partnership with Road 9 Inc. means Loreto Bay residents and
vacationing guests will enjoy all the benefits of complete broadband access,"
said Jim Grogan, President and CEO of Loreto Bay Company. "Our philosophy of
respecting the natural landscapes, conserving natural resources, and paying
special attention to the needs of our residents and homeowners is symbolized
by our commitment to this state of the art communications network. Loreto Bay
will always be connected!"

Since launching sales just 18 months ago, Loreto Bay Company recently
announced they had broken the $135 million milestone in home sales.

If the Mexican government wouldn't place restrictions and high tarrifs on computers, especially used computers, older models ( which would work just fine for internet access) could be bought for a song, imported and damn near given away.


Once again, Mexico is protecting a monopolized telecommunications industry and denying it's poorest people the opportunity for a richer, fuller life... Typical.
