APRIL 22, 2008 -- XO Communications (search for XO Communications) has announced a multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement to provide high-capacity network transport services to BandCon, the network provider for large content Web sites.

BandCon has purchased seven 10-Gbit/sec wavelengths and colocation services in Los Angeles, Houston, and San Francisco.

"BandCon selected XO based on the fact that our customers have ever-expanding content and constantly need additional capacity in a timely manner," said Ari Benowitz, CEO of BandCon. "XO has an extensive network, their sales team is a pleasure to work with, and they can consistently provision the capacity we need to meet our customers' demands."
