Broadwing Communications Launches Usage-Based Billing for Converged MPLS Services

Business Wire
Broadwing Communications, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of
Broadwing Corporation (NASDAQ:BWNG), today announced that it is
delivering a converged services platform enhancement that will
enable real pay-for-use metered billing to customers. Metered
billing extends Broadwing�s commitment to data networking
simplicity, flexibility, and efficiency. The solution is ideally
suited for customers with cyclical traffic patterns, business
continuity requirements or transactional accounting needs. The
service will be generally available in November of this year.
Different from burstable service options that charge for an
enterprise�s traffic "high-water mark," Broadwing metered billing
is based on the actual amount of data delivered across the network
- a true pay-for-use utility. The result is a converged MPLS VPN
platform that supports on-demand, liquid bandwidth. "Broadwing's
Converged Service Network was industry-leading when they launched
it, and it remains unique today with the telecom utility concept,�
said Stan Hubbard, senior analyst with Heavy Reading. �The new
metered billing option is another example of Broadwing directly
addressing customer requirements differently than other service
providers." Currently customers with disaster recovery,
intermittent or seasonal needs must either pay based on a
complicated formula to approximate sustained usage levels or
manually adjust their port bandwidth allocations. With Broadwing�s
new metered billing option, customers are able to �set and forget�
their port configurations and simply run their network traffic as
their business environment dictates. The new option is ideally
suited for professional services organizations with periodic
reporting requirements, transaction-based service companies, and
businesses with backup network requirements for natural disaster,
pandemic, or other major service disruptions. "Metered billing and
Broadwing�s vision of true telecom utility are a natural fit for
today's enterprise needs,� said Jamey Heinze, Broadwing�s senior
director of data product management. �We know that our customers
deal with rapidly changing business environments and this is one
more way we can help them.� Isolated from the Public Internet to
increase security, the Broadwing Converged Network provides
Broadwing customers with the flexibility to plug their applications
into a single platform using existing last-mile technology �
whether that is Ethernet, frame relay, asynchronous transfer mode
(ATM), private line or digital subscriber line (DSL). Once
Broadwing customers plug into the Converged Network, they can
choose to support their communications services using either a
Layer 2 Virtual Private LAN (VPLS) or a Layer 3 IP Multiprotocol
Label Switching (MPLS) VPN � or both � depending on their
individual security, application and control requirements. About
