Global Crossing to Link Internet Network to Ireland
By Maura Ginty| July 06, 1999
Share this ArticleTuesday announced an $80 million agreement
with the Irish government to build the Irish Ring, an undersea
fiber optic cable system that will link Ireland to the major cities
of Europe and America through the telco's network. "We estimate
that Ireland's e-commerce, the contribution of Irish Web-based and
data-based businesses, will grow 100 fold by 2002, but only if
competitive broadband capacity and international connectivity are
in place," said Ireland's Minister for Public Enterprise, Mary
O'Rourke.Under the terms of the agreement, Industrial Development
Authority (IDA) Ireland will resell the network's services to
Ireland-based telecoms and ISPs, in cooperation with Global
Crossing.
"Ireland is moving very fast to take a commanding lead in the
global e-commerce economy," said Bob Annunziata, Global Crossing's
CEO. "We are very pleased to be asked to build such an important
part of the advanced electronic infrastructure needed by Digital
Ireland." "The Irish Ring will dramatically lower communication
costs for Ireland and add huge capacity and state-of-the-art
connectivity to continue the astonishing growth in the Irish
economy." The underwater cable will link two of Global Crossing's
Irish telehouses via two diverse fiber cables, with the Irish
government as the system's anchor customer. The system is expected
to lead to significantly lower communications costs. Global
Crossing will develop and own the system.
"Ireland must be and will be an attractive location for
internationally mobile investment. High-quality, competitive
Internet access is vital to that future," said O'Rourke.
