GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Baycom Inc. and Harke Communications announced they will merge operations to establish one of the largest sales, service and support operations for wireless communications and mobile data in the state of Wisconsin.

As Julius Genachowski, Federal Communications Commission Chairman stated in his June 30, 2009 keynote address, "Put simply, our communications infrastructure is the foundation upon which our economy and our society rest. And it has never been more important that we unleash its potential."

Everyone is realizing the benefit of being connected."
