360networks Corp. has signed a contract with Montreal-based Videotron Telecom Ltd. (VTL) for the sale of dark fiber and the lease of network capacity. The new contract is one of several to be finalized since 360networks emerged from its restructuring in November of this year.
VTL will use the dark fiber and the network capacity to further enhance its network in Ontario, Quebec and cross-border routes to the United States. The sale will add approximately 1,200 kilometers of fiber-optic network to VTL's route footprint.
"We are excited to partner with VTL and to announce another customer win for 360networks," asserts Jimmy Byrd, 360networks president and chief operating officer. "The decision to choose 360networks for network services by yet another leading Canadian telecommunications provider is further evidence of the value 360networks brings to its customers."
