Hughes Network Systems has announced that the number of HughesNet residential and small business subscribers passed the 400,000 mark in the first quarter of this year, affirming Hughes' position as the leading provider of broadband satellite Internet access to consumers and small businesses in the U.S.

"The continued growth in our subscriber base is evidence of the need for broadband access everywhere in the U.S.," said Mike Cook, senior vice president of Hughes. "High-speed Internet is a fundamental part of our lives, and HughesNet is proving that satellite broadband is the right solution for families and small businesses throughout the country who aren't served by cable or DSL providers."

Cook added, "Hughes pioneered the consumer/small business satellite broadband market, and our success is built on over 30 years of experience providing satellite networks and services to enterprises and governments worldwide."

With its newly operational SPACEWAY(TM) 3 satellite, North America's highest traffic carrying Ka-band satellite, Hughes is ideally positioned to meet the continuing demand for broadband services by customers not served by landline providers well into the future.
