“At a time when many companies are closing markets, XO is further expanding its network reach to support contiguous markets,” said John Curran, chief technology officer for XO Communications. “We have found untapped demand in these adjacent markets and have opted for a smart growth strategy that includes both network expansion and increased sales and agent channels. This approach ensures that our ongoing network optimization is in alignment with the individual growth of each market.”
