LAS VEGAS - KeyOn Communications Holdings, Inc., one of the largest providers of wireless broadband, satellite video and voice over Internet protocol services in the United States, announced the closing of the acquisition of certain wireless broadband networks and subscribers in East Central Texas from ERF Wireless, Inc..
The acquired networks have demonstrated historically consistent earnings and currently generate positive EBITDA.

Jonathan Snyder, KeyOn's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The acquisition of these Texas networks represent a meaningful purchase in terms of subscribers, earnings and EBITDA. With this acquisition, we will not only expand our footprint in Texas however will as well be strengthening our foundation for future growth and acquisitions in this region. Taking everything into account, with cost savings, and the expanded EBITDA that will result due to our overall operational scale, we believe this represents an exceptionally high return on invested capital, then above our internal benchmark."
The ninth acquisition of network assets
This acquisition will represent the ninth acquisition of network assets and subscribers since the inception of Rural UniFi in the fourth quarter of 2009 and is the Company's thirteenth acquisition overall.
