Management Comment

“With our ability to provide fiber-like speed and fiber-like stability at a fraction of fiber’s CapEx cost, more companies are recognizing the benefits of our network,” stated Philip Urso, interim chief executive officer. “By sharing CapEx cost among many customers located in our On-Net buildings, we can offer market-setting prices and provide leading-edge service.”

“There is momentum in our business now,” stated Arthur Giftakis, chief operating officer. “We accelerated our On-Net platform in Q1 of this year and already 48 percent of our buildings have multiple customers and several have more in this early stage of our expansion initiative.”
