Big Pipe [Shaw] Receives Delivery of Dark Fiber From 360 Networks

June 14, 2001

[FAC: Does this set a new standard for 'picking up the pieces in advance,' or is there actually more gas left in the 360 tank than anyone actually knows about?]

Big Pipe, a division of Shaw Communications, received delivery from 360networks of 6,400 km of dark fiber located on routes between Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Buffalo, and Seattle to Sacramento.

The company also expects to receive OC-48 channels between Vancouver and Toronto and an additional 5,800 km of dark fiber in North America by the end of this year.

Big Pipe is planning to offer Video, Ethernet Broadband, and ATM Broadband to ISPs and other large bandwidth users.

Back to reality. In the June 2000 Cook Report on Internet Bill St. Arnaud was quoted as saying:

"Many carriers are sitting on millions of miles of unused fiber and wavelengths. The coming credit crunch I suspect will force many of these companies to liquidate these assets.

"At first there will be the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth that they are selling off their crown jewels. But already a few forward looking telcos are starting to realize that treating telecommunications as [a] marketable asset, rather than as [a] service has many benefits and significant new business opportunities.”
