By leveraging its domestic backbone assets, Williams has rapidly forged agreements that have provided the company with a significant international network footprint. Concurrent with extending its international network connectivity, Williams has undertaken a major local build-out into 50 markets in the United States. Williams Communications' award-winning U. S. network currently has more than 24,000 route miles in operation with a planned total of 33,000 route miles connecting 125 cities by the end of this year. Williams typically installs ninety-six to 144 fibers in every network build with multiple conduits, leaving spare conduits open to meet future needs. About Williams Communications Group, Inc.
