US Wireless made a big announcement last year about teaming with Lightyear Network, also based in Louisville to bring wireless and VOIP to the world. It lasted about 4-6 months then fell apart. US Wireless is good at making big announcements but nothing much has materialized as of yet.
They mainly focus on commercial accounts only and have cellular service as well. I have been watching US Wireless closely for the last year. I guess if you have one tower in 18 big cities, you can claim what they claim??
