MCI doubles Net capacity

Faced with Internet traffic growth doubling each year, MCI Tuesday
announced a massive upgrade of its Internet backbone. The company
said it had doubled the capacity of the infrastructure, and added
more than 4,000 access ports to handle the demand. The company
said it also introduced technology that also doubles the capacity
of its fastest network links without the cost of adding new
cables, and allows the equivalent of over one million voice calls
to be carried over a single pair of optical fibers. A company
vice president based the upgrade to the network was necessitated
both by increased usage and demand, and by next generation
Internet services, such as Internet broadcasting of multimedia
content, which increases the demand for bandwidth.
