Re: Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (No. 333-96223)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), BroadbandNOW, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), hereby makes
this application to withdraw the Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No.
333-96223, filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), together with Amendment No. 1 and all exhibits thereto (the
"Registration Statement"), relating to the proposed initial public offering of
shares of common stock of the Issuer. The Commission has not declared the
Registration Statement effective, and none of the common stock under the
Registration Statement has been sold by the Issuers pursuant to the Registration
Statement. The Issuer's grounds for withdrawing the Registration Statement are
the unfavorable market conditions.
The undersigned, on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to Rule 478 of the
Act, respectfully requests the Commission to grant the application of the Issuer
to have the Registration Statement withdrawn pursuant to Rule 477 under the Act
and issue an appropriate order to be included in the files of the Registration
Statement to the effect that the Registration Statement has been "Withdrawn upon
request of the registrant, the Commission consenting thereto."
Very truly yours,
BROADBANDNOW, INC.
