BusinessWire, Thursday, June 24, 1999 at 18:34 RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 24, 1999-- Excite@Home and Stanford University Among First Area Customers In the most recent step of the expansion of its GlobeSystem(sm) network, Teleglobe Communications Corporation today announced the opening of its corporate sales office in San Francisco to support the global communications needs of area Carriers, Internet Service Providers, Business Customers and Content Providers. Teleglobe also announced the opening of its local Internet access site, as well as plans to further enhance its San Francisco network presence by upgrading its current voice switch. Global Internet media company Excite@Home (NASDAQ:ATHM) and Stanford University are among the first customers to take advantage of the local direct link to the company's GlobeSystem worldwide network. Teleglobe, a North American based carrier with nearly 50 years of international telecommunications experience, is offering customers in the region cost-effective services that include U.S. domestic and international voice services, international toll free services, calling cards, operator services, Internet access, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) services, international private lines and broadcast transmission. "Companies demand top quality telecom services at extremely competitive rates, and Teleglobe is an ideal alternative to the existing players," said John Cahill, president, Teleglobe USA Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Teleglobe Communications Corporation. "By establishing itself in the San Francisco metropolitan area, Teleglobe continues to strengthen its presence in the U.S. telecommunications market. Through our local Internet switch and upgraded network facilities, area customers can access the same speed, performance, reliability and cost-efficiency that our global customers have come to depend on for decades." Excite@Home has selected Teleglobe to provide an added 45 Mbps of capacity to its current network capability, boosting the company's ability to serve the 16 million monthly customers that use its Internet portal services. Excite offers consumers and advertisers comprehensive Internet navigation services with extensive personalization capabilities. "Excite@Home is committed to make navigation on the Web easy, effective and dependable," said Richard Rothschild, manager, network services, Excite@Home.
