NEW YORK, June 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- Addition of 60,000 Qualified Wireless Communications Decision Makers
Will Fuel Growth Of Light Reading's Unstrung Website, Live Events, Webinars,
and Research

TechWeb's Light Reading Communications Network (www.lightreading.com),
the leading integrated publishing, events, and research company serving the
global communications marketplace, today announced that it has acquired RCR
Wireless' database of more than 60,000 qualified email addresses. The company
plans to use the list to fuel growth for the Webinars, events and Website of
Unstrung, Light Reading's authority on wireless communications technologies,
and for research services from Heavy Reading and Pyramid Research.

"For years RCR Wireless was the leading print brand in the mobile space,
with a powerful database of mobile carrier executives, vendors, and other
industry stakeholders," said Joseph Braue, SVP and Group Director of Light
Reading. "Now that these decision makers are part of the Light Reading
community, they will have access to an unparalleled set of global, integrated
media, research, and information resources."

Light Reading's Unstrung (www.unstrung.com) is the authority on the
wireless industry, with a unique focus on the industry's move to the new 4G
networks. The brand has an established, respected editorial team, including
Site Editor Dan Jones, who consistently breaks the news that drives this
marketplace, and International Mobile Industry Editors Ray LeMaistre and
Michelle Donegan. The robust Unstrung editorial offering includes expert
commentary on industry trends from Heavy Reading and Pyramid Research mobile
analysts. Light Reading is in discussions with RCR editors about writing for
the site and contributing news and thoughtful analysis on the wireless
industry.

RCR Wireless was the leading print publication in the mobile space until
it was closed in early March. The RCR Wireless brand was recently acquired by
Arden Media, which produces a telecom careers site and which has announced
plans to continue the RCR online brand with new content, but focus it on
"relevant industry employment information."

In addition to Unstrung's complimentary news service, Light Reading will
offer the former RCR Wireless audience access to a complete range of
integrated media products serving the global mobile industry, including:

- Leading research reports on key mobile business and technology issues
      such as the transition to new LTE/4G technology and the latest mobile
      backhaul trends from Heavy Reading analysts Patrick Donegan and Gabriel 
      Brown
    - Major reports on mobile broadband technology and applications around
      the world by Pyramid Research's worldwide staff of analysts, who are the
      leaders in providing market growth and analysis for the communications
      industry's top emerging markets.
    - Light Reading's June 11 Mobile 2012 Virtual Conference, the mobile
      industry's largest-ever virtual conference, with 10 sponsors and a 
      registered attendance of more than 1,000 mobile carriers and industry 
      executives (http://www.lightreading.com/mobile2012)
    - And participation in a number of focused mobile industry events such
      as:
      - Tower Summit @ CTIA, the largest exposition and conference focusing 
        on the cellular tower industry and the companies that serve it.
      - The mobile industry's first Policy Management and Deep Packet
        Inspection Conference, produced at this year's CTIA
      - Two Mobile Backhaul Shows: Mobile Backhaul Atlanta, which took place 
        in May 2009, and Mobile Backhaul New York, which is scheduled for 
        September 22, 2009



"We are thrilled at this opportunity to expand our footprint by offering
access to our deep, diverse, and global content to such a qualified
audience," added Braue.
