ATLANTA and VANCOUVER, Wash. – (August 21, 2001) – Netifice Communications Inc., a leader in end-to-end business class connectivity solutions, has selected New Edge Networks for providing high-speed Internet access to its enterprise customers that have telecommuters or remote branch locations in small and midsize cities nationally.
Under terms of the agreement, Netifice will integrate broadband service powered by New Edge Networks with its multiple access platform under a single management and support umbrella. New Edge Networks will install, test and maintain the DSL lines and provide modems on behalf of Netifice throughout its network that spans more than 360 cities in 29 states.

“Netifice and New Edge share the belief in distinguishing themselves by providing technology agnostic broadband access to all,” Bolton said. “I am pleased to partner with a company that shares our strong customer focus and our passionate work ethic.”
