UUNET SA and M-Web have extended their existing business relationship until the end of 2004. This agreement, which outlines the network capabilities provided to M-Web, has been one of the cornerstones of the organisations success in SA.
"As SA`s first commercial Internet service provider, UUNET has retained a strong presence in the corporate market over the last 10 years," says Dave Meintjes, CEO of UUNET SA. "Our alliance with M-Web has seen the company deliver a robust Internet backbone to their subscribers, which has given us a formidable reputation in the delivery of world-class network solutions."
"Both companies have always been supportive of each others business growth and market opportunities, something which will remain a focal point of our alliance going forward," adds Meintjes.
Additionally, despite market speculation around a potential dis-investment of UUNET, MCI has renewed its commitment to its African operations. This confidence is founded on the strong financial health of the company and certainty in our market growth.
"Having seen the benefit of being in business for the last 10 years, UUNET is well positioned to take advantage of the local market once deregulation becomes a reality, something which will continue to strengthen its ability to drive innovative solutions into Africa," concludes Meintjes.
UUNET SA, an MCI company, is southern Africa`s only pan-African provider of Internet-based network solutions and is the largest global carrier of Internet traffic. The company provides Internet connectivity and corporate network solutions to major corporations as well as access services to Internet service providers.
All UUNET SA products and solutions are delivered within the required regulatory conditions.
