Benefits to PSINet Wholesale Network Services Partners
Many national and regional ISPs, including EarthLink, MindSpring, and WebTV, utilize PSINet's
network infrastructure to deliver Internet access to their subscribers. PSINet's deployment of 3Com's
technology means that these wholesale partners will have the opportunity to offer high-speed
Internet access to their substantial customer base through PSINet's international infrastructure.
``The scalability of Total Control gives PSINet a path for growth without having to worry about
whether its system will become obsolete,'' said Ross Manire, senior vice president, 3Com Carrier
Systems. ``We're extremely pleased that PSINet has chosen the Total Control platform as it builds
upon its role as one of the leading Internet developers. With this partnership, 3Com now provides
Total Control systems to nine of the 10 largest ISPs in the world.''
