LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2005--Effective today,
SK-EarthLink, Inc. becomes HELIO, Inc., a new mobile brand custom
built for young, tech-savvy consumers. The company is a $440 million
joint venture between SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM), one of the world's most
advanced wireless carriers, and EarthLink (Nasdaq:ELNK), the nation's
next generation Internet service provider (ISP).

Why HELIO? The Heliocentric view, radical when Copernicus preached it
in the 16th century, held that the sun was at the center of the solar
system. In the same way, HELIO recognizes that for millions of young
consumers today, the mobile device is at the center of their lives.
