New Edge Networks Comments on FCC’s DSL Ruling
VANCOUVER, Wash. – (Aug. 5, 2005) – New Edge Networks, a national managed network services provider for businesses and carriers, today issued the following reaction to the FCC’s decision to classify DSL as a deregulated information service.
The following statement can be attributed to Dan Moffat, president and CEO of New Edge Networks:
“Today’s FCC decision on DSL is not a surprise for New Edge Networks. We have been repositioning New Edge Networks for this possible eventuality through the development of our “BigFoot” DSL coverage for more than two years.
“New Edge Networks delivers BigFoot DSL through both regulated and unregulated commercial agreements with regional bell operating companies, long-distance carriers, and other independent providers. With BigFoot DSL, New Edge Networks can provide businesses and carriers reach to about 90 percent of the business locations within the United States through more than 9,500 unique telephone company central offices operated by all major local carriers.
“Networks are increasingly strategic as information technology is embedded deeper into every business. BigFoot coverage represents great value to businesses and carriers. Both can minimize the cost and complexity of managing multiple carriers and technologies when building wide area networks for themselves or their customers. Customers prefer a single point of contact for building and managing new IP-based Virtual Private Networks.
“Through BigFoot, New Edge Networks is well-positioned with the broadest DSL footprint in the country from a single provider.
“It is too early to speculate on the implications of the FCC’s decision until we have an opportunity to review and study the written order. The only certainty at this point is that there will be more debates, appeals, and clarifications after affected players review the written FCC order.”
