Re: International Fibercom (IFCI) / AT&T--Cable Upgrades Thread, I never can get much interest going on this thread with another sector involved in solving last mile problems. These are the brain/brawn companies who the ILECs, MSOs, CLECs and even Wireless Providers, hire to actually do the grunt work for the new networks of tomorrow. I suppose they are fairly boring investments (except for making money off of<G>). That's the main reason I follow them. DenverTechie, what do you make of this in terms of how it effects Tetra Tech's(sym:WATR) relationship with AT&T? Do you think AT&T just has so much work they need to spread it around? That's my initial feeling. MikeM(From Florida) *********************** International FiberCom Announces Design-Build Agreements With AT&T Broadband and Internet Services; Initial Projects in San Francisco, Denver Areas PHOENIX--June 23, 1999--International FiberCom Inc. Wednesday announced that IFCI will provide AT&T T Broadband and Internet Services design-build services for the upgrade of its cable systems. Initially, IFCI will take on portions of AT&T/BIS's cable upgrade projects in the San Francisco Bay and Denver areas. Under these agreements, IFCI will be an essential contractor for AT&T/BIS. IFCI plans to use these contracts as an opportunity to further leverage its relationship with AT&T/BIS. Ultimately, IFCI would like to provide AT&T/BIS with design-build services in those additional markets where system upgrades are underway or are contemplated and with local line installation and maintenance services as AT&T/BIS rolls out its new video, data and voice product lines. Commenting on this exciting new opportunity, Kealy stated: "The prospect of taking on major design-build contracts for AT&T/BIS represents a huge step forward for IFCI. It fully validates our mission -- to provide full solutions and multiple services, to be a complete 'one-stop shop' for our customers in the telecommunications marketplace."
