NorthStar Communications Group Teams Up with X O Communications
For Immediate Release. October 30, 2000, Birmingham, Alabama: A new partnership between Silicon Valley-based X O Communications and rapidly expanding NorthStar Communications Group, Inc. is helping NorthStar, with offices in Birmingham, Alabama, Plano, Texas, and Bellevue, Washington reach the goals set by its aggressive strategic growth plan.
"This project means a lot to us because X O is a nationwide telecom services provider," says John Kautzman, the Vice President of Telecom Solutions East for NorthStar. "We are hopeful that it is the first in a series of projects with X O."
Although the project promises to boost NorthStar's name recognition nationally, the Company already boasts a national reputation among telecommunication leaders. Recognized for being an established and strong company with an entrepreneurial spirit, NorthStar has partnered with such national players as Level 3 and Global Crossing.
The project will begin November 1 in Charlotte and will be completed by May 2001.
NorthStar, a B E and K company, offers a broad range of communications services, including telecommunications engineering, construction management, project management, network E F and I, consulting, and professional staffing. NorthStar was founded in 1988 as NorthStar Telecomm Services, Inc. to serve the telecommunications engineering needs of the West Coast. In 1998, NorthStar was purchased by B E and K Inc., a $1 billion leader in engineering and construction — consistently ranked as one of Fortune magazine's "Top 100 Companies to Work For."
X O Communications, formerly known as NextLink, is one of the world's leading providers of broadband communications services offering local and long distance voice communication services, Digital Subscriber Line access, Web hosting and e-commerce service, Virtual Private Networks, dedicated access, global transit and applications infrastructure services for delivering applications over the Internet or V P N. The Company is also North America's largest holder of fixed broadband wireless spectrum, with licenses covering 95 percent of the population of the 30 largest U S cities, and partnership with licenses covering all of the top cities in Canada.
