Budapest was also one of the new points of presence added as part of Level 3 Communications (www.level3.com) and BT Global Services' (www.bt.com) backbone capacity expansion in Central and Eastern Europe. The expansion allowed Level 3 to further expand its fiber-based network to Budapest and Bratislava, Slovakia, and offer full services in its existing markets of Prague and Vienna.
