                      PRESS RELEASE DATED JANUARY 31, 2005

               USURF ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF SOVEREIGN COMPANIES

          DEAL VALUED AT $30M TO DELIVER BROADBAND SERVICES POWERHOUSE

BROOMFIELD, COLO., JAN. 31, 2005 - Usurf America, Inc. (OTCBB:USUR), a leading
regional provider of wired and wireless high-speed broadband communications
services, announced today that it has executed a definitive agreement to acquire
Denver-based Sovereign Companies in a deal valued at $30 million.

Founded in 1992, Sovereign is a diversified building and construction management
services company specializing in delivering turn-key residential and commercial
developments with completely integrated broadband and communication
infrastructure and services. Sovereign currently employs over 100 people and is
offering construction and communications services in Colorado, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Arizona. Sovereign properties are renowned for quality
construction and for excellent voice, video, and data services.

"Sovereign represents the next generation developer that can deliver a complete
portfolio of construction and communications services to new communities, and to
large developer and municipal partners," said Dave Weisman, chairman of Usurf.
"Their model is to be a one-stop service provider that offers construction,
networking, financial, technology, and on-going operations services to
individual customers, developer partners, municipalities, and other service
providers."

By merging the two companies and leveraging Usurf's expertise in deploying next
generation communications infrastructure, Usurf will be in a unique position to
greatly expand its reach into the housing market and to offer a comprehensive
suite of communications-oriented technology and building services to other
developers and to municipalities seeking to deploy next generation
communications infrastructure.

As communications solutions become more complicated and more specialized, it is
vitally important to design new developments as early as possible. The
Usurf/Sovereign combination represents a unique pairing of technology and
development that can together provide the most complete set of building and
communications services possible.

Operating as a division of Usurf, Sovereign will be able to expand its suite of
building services to include key broadband and wireless communications
technologies and service provisioning currently being developed and deployed by
Usurf. By offering a more comprehensive set of services, Sovereign will be able
to bridge the gap between traditional builders seeking to integrate
communications solutions into their projects and technology providers seeking to
deploy their technologies into new and existing developments.



Weisman also stated, "Usurf was seeking new and innovative ways to bring its
communications technologies to market. The Sovereign acquisition represented a
very accretive opportunity to greatly expand our customer base, to access
thousands of new customers, and to work closely with other developers and city
and state agencies seeking to integrate new communications technologies onto
their existing infrastructure. We believe our combined market opportunity to be
very large, our competition fragmented, and our timing to be excellent."

The transaction will be treated as an acquisition and promises to be immediately
accretive to revenue.

Specific components of the transaction will be reported in subsequent SEC
filings and include the initial issuance of restricted stock combined with
specific earn-out provisions based upon the attainment of financial performance
milestones over the next 36 months.

Ed Garneau, currently the CEO of Sovereign will continue to lead the Sovereign
Companies division of Usurf and will report to the CEO of Usurf. "We have been
building a tightly integrated and very profitable business for the last 12 years
based upon delivering quality projects and state-of-the-art communications
infrastructure coupled with excellent post-sale service provisioning," said
Garneau. "By combining with Usurf, we can greatly expand our product portfolio,
enter new and highly complementary markets, and quickly grow our business."

Weisman added further, "We are delighted to be partnering with Ed Garneau and
the entire Sovereign management team. They are aggressive, highly focused, and
we believe this business combination will represent the catalyst to quickly grow
Usurf's revenues and generate significant profits for its shareholders."

The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2005.
