LEAGUE CITY, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 2003--Eagle Broadband, Inc. (AMEX:EAG), a leading supplier of broadband products, services and content, announced today that its Atlantic Pacific Communications subsidiary has signed a $185,000 contract to provide the installation of outside-plant fiber optic cable segments to support a new process control system for Lubrizol Corporation, a fluid technology company that concentrates on high-performance chemicals, systems and services for industry and transportation.
