Mid-Atlantic Broadband Cooperative Selects XO Communications to
Expand Network Reach
Regional Virginia Broadband Initiative Uses XO Dark Fiber to
Connect to Global Internet
RESTON, VA - RESTON, VA June 12, 2006 XO Communications today
announced a multi-year agreement worth up to $3 million to provide
dark fiber to the Mid-Atlantic Broadband Cooperative (MBC), an
organization that is helping to bring advanced open-access
broadband services to rural communities in Southside Virginia. The
XO fiber will be used to provide broader open-access connectivity
for the regional broadband initiative to the global Internet at
major points where Internet traffic is exchanged.
Under the terms of the agreement, XO is providing MBC with 800
miles of dark fiber between Atlanta, Richmond and Washington, DC.
MBC will incorporate the dark fiber into its advanced, open-access
fiber optic network that will provide high-capacity optical
transport services on a wholesale basis to the region. The network
will help encourage competition by allowing service providers of
all kinds to offer new broadband services. The availability of
broadband services is expected to help promote economic growth in
the region by allowing communities to better compete for jobs,
attract technology-based companies and retain skilled labor.
