FiberLight Announces Major Network Expansion To Culpeper, VA

ATLANTA, GA, - October 2, 2008 - FiberLight, LLC announced today they have begun constructing 130 miles of state-of-the-art diversely routed fiber from Chantilly to Culpeper Virginia. The metro fiber network will extend the network reach of the greater Washington D.C. area in which FiberLight serves for metro optical transport. The expanded network will complement the existing network of over 300 miles of fiber connecting Baltimore, Southern Maryland, Washington, DC, and the Northern Virginia networks.

"Customers are demanding high levels of reliability, cost-efficiency and low latency. Through key infrastructure investments, FiberLight can now provide dependable network access to over 80 percent of the greater Washington D.C. enterprise, government and wholesale markets," FiberLight Executive Vice President of Operations Ron Kormos said. "FiberLight is committed to enhancing our portfolio so we can offer the connectivity and technologies our customers need to grow and establish their businesses."

FiberLight's capital investment plan includes extending services into additional Virginia locations including PowerLoft and the NAP of the Capital Region, a Terremark Worldwide facility. FiberLight has successfully contracted with several companies who have become anchor tenants for the additional network service from Northern Virginia.

"When completed, the FiberLight Network will provide a significant amount of new capacity between Culpeper and DC/Northern VA," said Norm Laudermilch, Managing Director of Terremark's NAP of the Capital Region. "Adding the FiberLight route will allow us to bring even more carriers to the NAP of the Capital Region, making it one of the most diversely connected facilities in the region and underscoring the carrier neutral model that Terremark follows. FiberLight's network will also add more dark fiber capacity into the campus to service customers that require it."

According to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, the Northern Virginia area is considered one of the top centers for technology in the country. Northern Virginia has experienced a 25 percent growth rate in the last 10 years, in part because of its proximity to the Washington, DC metropolitan area, officials said.

"High speed fiber optics technology enables business, government, defense electronics and others to safely transmit data to centers in Northern Virginia," said Liz Povar, Director of Business Development for the Virginia Economic Development Partnership. "Expansion of fiber capacity continues to augment the infrastructure necessary for companies to compete in the global marketplace, of which Virginia is a significant player."

Highlights of the 2008 service area expansion plan currently underway include:

* 100 percent extended dedicated Ethernet, Wavelengths and SONET
access capabilities, which adds service nodes in 13 new cities including Manassas, Culpeper, Warrenton, and Gainesville, VA.
* Integration of over 300 miles of existing fiber connecting key
data centers, carrier POP's and carrier hotels to the NAP and Manassas data centers. Equinix, Switch & Data, CRG West and dozens of others are all interconnected via protected 10 Gig core Wavelengths and dark fiber.
* Initial capacity of 640 Gig of Wavelengths, OC-N and Ethernet
connectivity available. Ability to upgrade NAP of Capital complex to accommodate up to 64 Tb of bandwidth over time as needed between NAP and Equinix or other metro destinations.
* Bandwidth increments from 10 MB and DS3 and up to 10 Gig or
