i'm not sure what this means, i suspect that english is not the author's native tongue. SAC (per the map on Global Crossing's web site) does not land in Uruguay. ragingbull.com Uruguay: Global Crossing negotiates with Antel optical fiber Fri Feb 25 20:12:00 EST 2000 The consortium Global Crossing, that is laying down an optical fibers network connecting 200 cities worldwide, has offered to the Uruguayan telecoms major Antel the possibility to access the network, increasingspeed of Internet users. Global would pass on to Antel a stretch connecting Santos (Brazil) to Las Toninas (Argentina) and from there up to Uruguay, that would require investments of US$30mil by Crossing, that would have an income from the capabilities of Antel to sell the capacity use for another US$30mil. There is a controversy on the negotiations of Antel, that alleges it has not taken the offer since it is studying alternatives for optical fiber connection. Currently Antel uses the optical fiber from Unisur that has an outdated technology. Copyright (c) 2000, SABI, all rights reserved.
