Optimum Communications
Optimum Communications' patent-pending technology enables it to profitably sell wholesale communications (e.g. Internet backbone) service for retail communications and applications service providers (collectively xSPs) below its competitors’ breakeven price. xSPs such as LECs and ISPs need more backbone capacity to expand their revenue-generating retail-service capacity. However, currently the costs of backbone upgrades often cannot be covered by the added revenues enabled. At the same time, demand for Internet service capacity continues to double annually. By subscribing to Optimum’s Adaptive-Mesh backbone service, xSPs get multiple times more effective backbone capacity without increased spending; Optimum thus enables its customers to grow their revenues profitably. Optimum’s patent-pending Adaptive-Mesh technology enables it to sell with profit advanced wholesale communications solutions below its competitors’ production costs, even when using leased physical network capacity, i.e., without having to invest in physical network assets. Optimum thus serves the wholesale communications market -- a multi-billion-dollar industrial necessity-service market -- with capital-efficiency of a SW firm.
