"We are seeing a tremendous amount of growth and demand for interconnection facility space, both from enterprise businesses and service providers," said Eric Shepcaro, CEO and Chairman of tel(x), "the explosive growth of Ethernet and IP services is driving huge demand for physical connections between networks."

In Dallas, tel(x)`s recently-acquired facility at 2323 Bryan Street is already at 85% capacity. But the facility will nearly double to over 11,000 square feet in September 2007 through an expansion plan that includes building out the Interconnection Facility to accommodate more custom cages, cabinets and racks in order to support the ongoing demand in the Dallas market.

This growth and demand is continuing at the tel(x) facilities at 60 Hudson Street as well, where tel(x) is taking an additional 10,000 square feet of space on the 11th floor at 60 Hudson Street and further expanding their largest facility`s footprint, tel(x) will have approximately 60,000 square feet of interconnection and colocation space in 60 Hudson Street after the build out. With the 9th Floor already at 85% capacity, there seems to be no end in site for the demand within tel(x) facilities.

The success of tel(x)`s interconnection facilities persists in part due to the focus on customer service and industry leading SLA`s. tel(x)`s operations team is highly technical and includes certified engineers. "Our true differentiator and certainly one that propels our growth is the quality of our local technical staff," says Michael Terlizzi, Executive Vice President of Operations. "Our local engineers provide hands-on support both within and outside our facilities to tenants of the buildings where we manage the Interconnection Facilities. This expertise and immediate accessibility has helped ground us as true go-to experts within the interconnect space."

With this expanded footprint, continued growth and a customer list of over 500 companies, the annual Customer Business Exchange [cb(x)] is expected to hit record numbers this year exceeding 1,000 attendees. The customer focused event encourages networking that will turn into interconnections between customers within the tel(x) facilities. This event, hosted by tel(x), will be held at Cipriani`s on Wall Street in New York City and is sponsored by customers and partners including: ISID & HKCOLO, iBasis, Mzima, TeamQuest, Turin Networks, 4Connections, at&t Wholesale, Calltrade, The Colocation Exchange, Comnet, Comptel, CTI Labs, DataNet, Global Convergence Solutions, Global Crossing, GlobeNet, Hibernia Atlantic, iNETWORKS Group, IP Business, KeySpan Communications, lexent, MBC, NEON, Novanet Technologies, Optimum Lightpath, PAETEC, Qwest, Pulse, Stealth Communications, Stratus Technologies, Telintel, Triad, Tiscali International, VarData, VoIP Logic, and XO Communications.
