Kevin, let me vent for a moment. Is it just me, or are you and others getting rather tired, if not pissed, with this kind of marketing schtick?

"Alliance Enables Qwest to Deliver First End-to-End All Internet Protocol Network"

I think that this is the fifth first of this kind, from a different provider each time, that I've read about over the past two months. End vent.

Does anyone here know about a company called Worldwide Fiber Inc?

See the last article in the following (copied below). The rest of the link is pretty good stuff, too.

pennwell.shore.net

Worldwide Fiber Inc. signed letters of intent with three major suppliers for optical and switching systems to activate existing dark fiber assets stretching from Seattle to Vancouver to Toronto via Minneapolis, Chicago, and Detroit. The announcement represents Worldwide Fiber's entry into the carrier's carrier service market, following its evolution from contractor to developer to telecommunications operator.

Worldwide Fiber plans to continue developing its fiber assets to increase its network value. Nortel Networks will provide its Optera LH DWDM system. Fore Systems' AS400 40-Gbits/sec switch will provide the ATM core switching fabric. Newbridge Networks will supply the ATM edge switches in the form of its MainStreetXpress 36170 Multiservice Switch platform.
