October 5, 2001 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Metromedia Fiber Network Communications Inc. (mmfn.com)

announced yesterday that Microsoft Corp.'s MSN network of Internet services

is occupying 30 percent of the co-location space in MFN's Internet Service

Exchange facility in Seattle.

The acquisition of co-location space in Seattle expands the existing

relationship between the two companies. MSN also has co-location space in

MFN's San Jose ISX, uses MFN's Global IP Network, and leases MFN's

metropolitan dark fiber. In addition, MSN has an agreement with MFN's newly

acquired SiteSmith subsidiary for on-site support of Microsoft equipment

located at MFN's data centers.

MSN is also a participant in PAIX.Net, Inc., another MFN subsidiary and a

leading neutral Internet exchange. PAIX.Net, Inc. serves as a primary

Internet peering hub and enables the exponential growth of the Internet

through its geographically dispersed facilities.

"MSN's experience working with the first-tier co-location facilities of

Metromedia Fiber Network as well as SiteSmith and PAIX has been positive.

Our decision to expand the relationship to include their Seattle facility

made sense, given our complementary strategies in delivering an end-to-end

service solution," said Rick Rice, group program manager at MSN.
