Lexent in the Headlines
What do the New York Daily News, Yahoo! Finance, TMCNet and Forbes.Com have in common? They are just a few media organizations that featured our November Press Release. In case you didn't catch our news in the headlines, here's a clipping for you.
Lexent Metro Connect, the leading provider of dark fiber networks in the New York Metropolitan area, today announces its continuing commitment to 30-day timelines for dark fiber installations in Manhattan, even during New York City's annual holiday construction embargo. To assist in less traffic disturbances during the busy holiday season, the New York City Department of Transportation restricts street and sidewalk construction from November 24th through January 2, 2009, from 6 a.m. to midnight. As a result, Lexent Metro Connect's trained professionals will often work in the early morning hours to ensure timely dark fiber installations for their clients while being mindful of the embargo.
