Press Release Summary: The National Portable Storage Association celebrates
Alexander Graham Bell\'s invention with custom containerized storage that features
telephone and computer jacks.

Press Release Body: KANSAS CITY, MO. (March 21, 2008) - When Alexander Graham Bell
invented the telephone, he probably never imagined that one day construction
workers, security guards and temporary office personnel would be using the device
from the inside of an air conditioned portable storage container.

As the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA) celebrates Bell\'s birthday - and
his accomplishments - it offers yet another little-known fact about its members\'
products: telephone service.

\"Many people don\'t realize custom containers can be outfitted with telephones and
computer jacks that make doing business away from the main office not only possible,
but also efficient,\"
said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director of the NPSA, a nonprofit membership
association dedicated to the advancement of the portable storage industry. \"Custom
modifications on shipping containers offer electricity, lighting, air conditioning,
windows - and telephones. If you need it to run an office, you can get it with
custom portable storage units.\"

Beyond portable office uses, adding telephone lines makes custom containerized
storage suitable for high-tech security checkpoints. Security guards can dial into
the main facility to clear guests through the land line, or access the Internet and
e-mail. What\'s more, portable storage used as temporary housing can also benefit
from these amenities.

\"Mobile telephones may be a vital part of doing business today, but Bell\'s original
invention is still an important aspect of business communication,\" said NPSA
Operations Manager Joel Rathbone. \"Wireless Internet service is not yet an automatic
option in today\'s world, so the use of land lines can be a key to productivity while
in temporary offices spaces on job sites.\"
