Business Wire
Xfone, Inc. (NYSE Amex and TASE: XFN) (“Xfone” or “the
Company”) connected its first fiber customer in Slaton, Texas
further expanding the Company’s new “PRIDE” fiber-to-the-premise
Network.
Xfone’s ongoing fiber build out, when completed, is expected to
reach 19 new communities bringing the total FTTP passings to
approximately 50,000. The Company is funding the expansion of the
fiber network using approximately $100 million in federal stimulus
funding.
To date, Xfone has established its FTTP network in Lubbock,
Levelland, Smyer, Wolfforth, Littlefield Burkburnett, Brownfield
and Whitharral, Texas, providing customers in those communities
access to voice, video and internet services using high speed
broadband.
Mr. Guy Nissenson, Xfone’s President and CEO, commented, “We are
making excellent progress establishing our state of the art fiber
network in new communities and are pleased to have begun adding
customers in Slaton. We continue to see excellent adoption rates as
we bring our high speed triple play offering to new markets, as
customers recognize the value and convenience of the high speed
bandwidth we provide. Consumers are increasingly reliant on the
internet; both in residential and business applications, and the
speed and accessibility of our network meets their expectations.
Construction of the PRIDE Network continues to move ahead and we
look forward to bringing advanced broadband to more customers in
the coming weeks.”
