Offering telecommunications services to both consumers and business
customers, KPN is the market leader in major segments of the Dutch

FiberNet's integrated colocation facilities, continuous on-site

this business. "Through this virtual Point of Presence, KPN will
get immediate access to over 600 domestic and international
carriers," said Jon A. DeLuca, President and CEO of FiberNet. "KPN

communication equipment." Under the terms of the one-year

providers. "FiberNet's peering capabilities will greatly reduce
KPN's network cost per tributary and help us deliver greater value
to our customers. The streamlined path that FiberNet provides
between origin and our destinations reduces the costs of transit,
gives us an enhanced uptime and a much better network performance
and we can pass these benefits on to our customers," said Jan
Louwes, Vice President Sales & Customer Care of KPN
