PROFILE |
 |
Aerie (pronounced "air-ee") Networks' name belies the density of its planned backbone. The company is constructing a high-capacity fiber-optic network that will span 18,000 miles and connect more than 175 cities across the US. By offering a huge supply of bandwidth (435-strand fiber-optic cable), it intends to provide capacity at lower costs to local-exchange carriers, content providers, ASPs, ISPs, and integrated communications providers. Sempra Communications and 11 pipeline firms have given Aerie their rights-of-way to construct its network in exchange for a combined 25% stake. VantagePoint Venture Partners owns 29% of Aerie; management owns 29%. Formed in 1999, the company plans to complete its network in 2005.
