Fiber to the curb reaches business centers

Article Abstract:

Cogent Communications Inc, based in Washington, D.C., offers data-networking services via metropolitan-area networks (MAN), adding optical-fiber cable all the way to each customer. The company's aim is to selectively choose multi-tenant commercial buildings or building clusters, interconnecting them with all-optical, data-only links. Cogent already has several thousand customers in a dozen U.S. markets, and it intends to be operating in 40 or 50 markets within a few years. In effect, says Cogent founder David Schaeffer, Cogent is constructing a nationwide switched local-area network (LAN).
