Able, Inc. Achieves 41% to Date of Arizona's Total eRate Internal Connections
Funding Commitments for Funding Year 2006-2007


Press Release Body = Able Information Technologies, Inc. announced today that they
have received notification of funding commitments for more than $11 million in eRate
monies for Internal Connections in Arizona schools and libraries. This total, which
includes commitments issued through 1/3/2007, equals 41% of all Priority Two funding
granted to Arizona entities to date through the federally sponsored eRate program.

In February, 2006, Able surpassed its competitors by being chosen as the service
provider for more than $30 million dollars worth of requested projects - 23% of the
$127 million requested by Arizona schools and libraries for projects involving
Internal Connections and basic maintenance. "We were both thrilled and humbled to be
trusted by so many within the educational community," stated Brandon Ames, Able CEO,
"but this new set of numbers validates our position as eRate experts: we hold 23% of
the submitted applications, but we have received 41% of the funding to date. That
means we're doing something very right."

Able\'s history with eRate goes back to the inception of the program when Brandon
Ames, Able's President and CEO, was on the board that helped design the original
parameters for Priority Two Internal Connections. Through all of the changes that
have taken place since then, Able has continued to be heavily involved, staying
informed and proactively addressing concerns, helping schools throughout Arizona
make the most efficient and effective use of their eRate funds. Able's management
philosophy is that working smarter for their clients yields a higher rate of
success.

2007 promises to be a banner year for Able Information Technologies, Inc as well as
the State of Arizona. As Milan Eaton, Director of Sales said, "Able is built by many
people with one vision..results for our clients."


What is eRate?

The Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund, commonly known as
\"eRate,\" is administered under the direction of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), and provides discounts to assist most schools and libraries in the United
States to obtain affordable telecommunications and Internet access. The types of
technology projects funded by eRate typically include telecommunications services,
Internet access, Internal Connections, and basic maintenance of Internal
Connections. Eligible schools, school districts and libraries may apply
individually or as part of a consortium.
