NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 13, 2003 - Cybera is one of only four Nashville companies to be named to the Future 50 and be a finalist for the Best In Business Awards in 2003. The Nashville business community gives these awards annually to outstanding emerging businesses.

"This recognition validates that Cybera not only has bottom-line business growth but an impressive track record of meeting customer needs," said Cliff Duffey, Cybera president and CEO. "It speaks well for our organization that Cybera achieved both these distinctions in one of the worst telecomm markets in history."

In September, Cybera was named one of Nashville's Future 50 for its phenomenal growth over the last year. The company has averaged greater than 1,000 percent revenue growth during the first three years of operation. Cybera projects continued growth averaging more than 300 percent year-over-year for the next three-year period.

In May, the company was named a finalist for the 2003 Business In Business Awards presented by the Nashville Business Journal. This nomination recognized Cybera's unique business model, outstanding customer service record and ability to find a valuable niche in a tough telecommunications market.
