From their 10-Q
"We provide voice and data communications products and services to consumers and businesses. We provide these services throughout the United States in approximately 235 major metropolitan areas in 44 states. Our telecommunications network allows us to offer services to approximately 57 million homes and businesses. Our products and services include high-speed, or broadband, data communications, Internet access connectivity, Voice over Internet Protocol telephony, or VoIP, wireless broadband, and a variety of related services. We primarily use digital subscriber line, or DSL, and DS-1, also referred to as T-1, technologies to deliver our services. In order to provide our services we purchase network elements, such as telecommunication lines and central office facilities, from the traditional local telephone companies, which are often referred to as the incumbent local telephone companies, or ILECs, and other carriers, and then combine these network elements with our own nationwide network facilities. We purchase the majority of these network elements from Verizon Communications, Inc., or Verizon, BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., or BellSouth, AT&T, Inc. (formerly SBC Communications, Inc., or SBC), or AT&T, and Qwest Corporation, or Qwest, which are also known as the regional Bell operating companies, or RBOCs. As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately 556,900 broadband access end-users and 1,328 VoIP business customers with a combined total of approximately 42,800 VoIP stations." |
