Global Crossing Applauds FCC's Release of National Broadband Plan
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., March 16 -- Global Crossing (NASDAQ:GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider, today applauded the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for releasing its National Broadband Plan. The plan details a potential roadmap for expanding broadband deployment throughout the United States and is the result of an extensive effort by the FCC to examine a wide range of issues that impact broadband deployment.
As a Tier 1 Internet backbone operator and a provider of advanced IP services to telecommunications-intensive businesses, Global Crossing shares the FCC's goal of expanding broadband deployment.
"The FCC is to be commended on its thorough effort to produce the National Broadband Plan," said John Legere, chief executive officer of Global Crossing. "The Commission identified many important policy changes that are required to realize the vision of a broadband future. Global Crossing looks forward to working with the Commission and Congress to make these changes a reality as soon as practicable."
