Williams Communications provides Teleglobe with network capacity
Williams Communications (NYSE:WCG), a broadband provider for bandwidth-centric customers, announced it has signed a revised agreement to sell lit network capacity to Teleglobe. Under the terms of the original agreement executed in December 1999, Teleglobe was to purchase dark fiber on Williams Communications' nationwide next-generation fiber optic network.
Under the terms of the revised agreement, Williams Communications will provide Teleglobe broadband transport services including OC-48 Optical Wave Service along two fully diverse routes from New York to Santa Clara, Calif. Williams Communications will also provide Teleglobe private line services and multiple STM-1 backhaul circuits connecting the San Luis Obispo cablehead to Los Angeles. The revised transaction is expected to have no impact on Williams Communications' cash projections.
