In the mid-1980s, the original WilTel helped establish the competitive long distance industry by enabling the rise of resellers as intermediaries, buying capacity in bulk from WilTel and others and repackaging it for resale to end users. In the late 1980s, WilTel helped launch the commercial Internet industry by creating innovative bandwidth packages that enabled the birth of fledgling Internet service providers. Williams, in fact, is the only broadband network focused on enabling other carriers. When combined with its proven market management capabilities, network assets, and established customer relationships, Williams is uniquely positioned to lead the industry to identify and implement the new market models that will best serve end-user customers while also enabling the industry to continue to grow and prosper.
