He was also CEO and chairman of Netcom, the first international provider of Internet services. Garrison received his BS in Accounting from Syracuse University and an MBA from Harvard.
"The STSN opportunity is exciting for several reasons," said Garrison. "Demand for high-speed Internet access is forecast to dramatically increase over the next five years.

STSN is focused on enabling our hotel partners to generate a profitable new revenue line without hassle."
