U.S. Speedskating "finally has found a heavyweight,
cash-paying sponsor," after agreeing to a five-year, $1.2M
sponsorship deal with IL-based Ameritech, according to
Charles Gardner of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Gardner
reported that "it is the first major sponsorship landed" for
the WI-based U.S. longtrack speedskating team. The deal is
with Ameritech and Security Link, a division of Ameritech
(Charles Gardner, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 1/30).
