AGIS is currently serving more than 200 cities in the United States with points of presence (POPs) for Internet access, and has dedicated service available in almost 50 countries. In addition, the company provides backbone services to more than 700 of the estimated 3000 Internet service providers (ISPs) around the world.
Cook: 700 isps? Gosh. That's impressive. Anyone got any data on when they overtook MCI, Sprint, and UUNET in market share? Leased line access to almost 50 countries round the world? Any one seen the map of their global network? Anyone got a list of their foreign pops? Or are they claiming LDDS lines and POPs in this country and abroad as though they (AGIS) owned them all.
I had a long conversation with Phil Lawlor, AGIS top cheese, a couple of weeks ago: they provide IP services to ISPs in dozens of countries. These connections aren't provided by AGIS pops abroad by via international leased circuits or over international frame relay networks (like Concert). Does this mean that AGIS doesn't provide services in "50 countries"? Mmmmmm . .
