Zayo Upgrades Network in Minneapolis: Good for Business and Wholesale

I know the following won’t change the outlook for most readers today – but I always feel like building leads to building. Zayo reports

Zayo Group today announced the expansion of its Tier 1 internet protocol (IP) backbone in the Minneapolis market. With this expansion, Zayo can provide extended IP services in Minneapolis, now offering up to 10Gbps at both the company’s IP PoPs and at end customer locations. The upgraded network will deliver high quality, high capacity internet service to enterprise and wholesale customers. Zayo’s IP expansion leverages Minneapolis’ extensive metro fiber assets, consisting of more than 1,300 route miles and more than 615 on net buildings.

Unfortunately the flip side to the news is that this widens the gap between the served (often in metro areas) and the un- and underserved markets in rural areas.
