Not only do we recommend Comodo products to our customers, but if they get a virus while using a COMODO product (kept updated and run properly), we will clean their system for free.\"
In Phase 1 of its deployment (already in progress) Tiamet Communications will launch a powerful point-to-point secure 900 Mhz service able to cover wide areas as is needed in rural communities such as Mecklenburg County. Part of this rollout will include basic PC and security training in order to help customers maintain a safe and secure PC.
Phase 2 of the deployment will include free wireless Internet access in public areas.

With Comodo\'s TrustConnect, users can elect to sign up per session or per month to ensure encrypted and secure Internet sessions.
\"Wireless Internet technologies are here to stay, and expanding broadband Internet access to all regions is an important initiative,\" said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo \"Tiamet understands that while customers want broadband access, there are with new risks which must be mitigated.
