Williams Communications, a unit of Williams (NYSE:WMB), has lit 700 miles along a key southern segment linking Atlanta and Miami via Jacksonville, Fla. on its rapidly growing nationwide fiber-optic network. Williams Communications' nationwide fiber-optic network has more than 17,600 route miles in service, 20,000 miles of fiber in the ground and plans to complete 32,000 route miles connecting 125 cities by the end of 2000. "This project provides a critical Florida extension, a milestone in Williams Communications' strategy to link major cities throughout Florida with its existing fiber network in the southeastern United States. We anticipate a large volume of traffic on the Atlanta -- Jacksonville -- Miami route based on the high-demand for capacity and connectivity along the eastern and southern coastlines," says Joe Turcotte, senior vice president and chief operations officer for Williams Network.
