Metro One Telecommunications Receives NASDAQ Deficiency Notice Relating to Minimum Bid Price

PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwire - April 22, 2008) - Metro One Telecommunications, Inc. (NASDAQ: INFO) (the "Company") was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market on April 16, 2008 that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule") because shares of its common stock had closed at a per share bid price of less than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until October 13, 2008, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. This notification has no effect on the listing of the Company's common stock at this time.

The Company will achieve compliance if, before October 13, 2008, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not gain compliance by October 13, 2008, the Nasdaq staff will notify the Company that its common stock will be delisted.

If the Company does not regain compliance by October 13, 2008, but can demonstrate that the Company meets the criteria for initial listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c) (other than the bid price requirement) and its application is approved, the Company will have an additional 180 days to regain compliance while on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company does not regain compliance by October 13, 2008, the Company also may then appeal Nasdaq's delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel.
