Another one bites the dust (well almost). omnisky Announcement

Dear Valued OmniSky Customer,

Today we announced that OmniSky has agreed to sell its subscriber base and key
technology assets to Atlanta-based EarthLink, a leading Internet service provider.

We are very excited about the prospects of this agreement and what it means for
you.

This acquisition leverages EarthLink's position as a world-class provider of
Internet access -- from dial-up and DSL/high speed access, to wireless Internet
access. As an award-winning company that focuses on providing its subscribers
with the best Internet experience possible -- wherever they are, through whatever
device they are using -- EarthLink will continue to improve and expand upon
your existing OmniSky service. You can look forward to satisfying your need
for new features, enhanced functionality, and additional device options in the
coming months, all from one company.

We expect to continue to provide you with uninterrupted, high quality service
and support. We anticipate that our day-to-day business will, in the short term,
continue as usual.

We do not expect:
- Your service to be interrupted
- Your email address to change
- Your pricing to change; or
- Our customer support to change

To ensure the most seamless transition for our customers, the company has filed
for Chapter 11 protection. Our agreement with EarthLink is subject to a number
of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of bankruptcy court approval.
We hope to obtain that approval in January 2002, although we cannot be certain
as to that timing.

It was OmniSky's priority to ensure that our customers were in good hands. Your
care is EarthLink's priority. Please look forward to hearing directly from
EarthLink in the coming weeks. They will be providing more information on the
transition and associated customer benefits. In the meantime, for more information
and the latest updates, please visit http://www.omnisky.com/earthlink

Sincerely,

Pat McVeigh
Chairman and CEO
OmniSky
