EarthLink to Offer its Internet Services Through RadioShack Stores Nationwide

EarthLink Adds 5,000 Stores to Retail Footprint

ATLANTA, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — As a result of a newly
announced agreement, EarthLink (Nasdaq: ELNK) will now offer its award-winning
suite of Internet services through more than 5,000 of RadioShack’s 7,000-plus
stores nationwide, making it easier than ever to sign up for EarthLink. The
agreement couples RadioShack, the nation’s most trusted consumer electronics
specialty retailer, with EarthLink’s high-speed and dial-up Internet services.

With one of the largest high-speed footprints of any ISP in the United
States — offering both cable and DSL options for customers — EarthLink High
Speed Internet service will be available to customers in almost 4,000 of the
RadioShack stores that will be carrying EarthLink Internet products.

RadioShack will also sell EarthLink’s dial-up Internet service, featuring
EarthLink Accelerator, which enables EarthLink dial-up customers to surf the
Web up to five times faster than conventional dial-up services at no
additional cost. Accelerator is a part of EarthLink’s TotalAccess(R) 2004
software, an exclusive suite of innovative tools and services that includes
spamBlocker and Pop-up Blocker(SM). EarthLink will be the sole dial-up
internet provider offered in RadioShack stores.

"EarthLink’s innovative Internet services are a perfect complement to
RadioShack’s extensive consumer reach, long-standing reputation for quality
and knowledgeable sales staff," said Kevin Flaherty, vice president of retail
channel sales at EarthLink. "With more than 90 percent of the country living
or working within five minutes of a RadioShack store, customers almost
anywhere can now learn about and sign up for EarthLink’s new and exciting
products like Accelerator. The bottom line is that RadioShack customers will
have excellent options for fulfilling their personal, family or small business
Internet connection needs."

The new agreement between RadioShack and EarthLink will include in-store
merchandising of EarthLink products, employee training and EarthLink
promotional activity. In addition, the companies will explore the development
of new opportunities such as wireless Internet services to better fulfill the
growing connectivity needs for customers.
