BTI Telecom has boosted bandwidth in the southeastern US while snatching business from the Baby Bells. BTI is a facilities-based telecommunications provider with a range of services, including local and long-distance voice (about 150,000 access lines) and data services. The company operates an optical fiber network (bought from Qwest) and is pumping up subscriber-loop capacity by rolling out DSL (digital subscriber line). BTI has 31,000 small and midsized business customers, 5,000 residential customers, and more than 18,000 collegiate clients; the carrier also provides wholesale services to other telecom carriers. CEO Peter Loftin, who founded BTI in 1983, controls about 60% of the firm's voting power.
