 PROFILE
Global TeleSystems (GTS) is busting borders across Europe to provide broadband carrier services. The company operates one of Europe's largest fiber-optic networks, reaching 20 countries, and a Tier One Internet backbone. GTS also operates intra-city broadband loops and provides Web hosting and colocation services. To response to telecom industry troubles, GTS has temporarily restructured itself into three units: Broadband Services, renamed Ebone; Business Services (voice telephony); and Central Europe operations. Having shed its majority stake in Russian provider Golden Telecom, Global Telesystems plans to sell its Business Services unit and Central Europe operations in order to focus on broadband carrier services.
