Level 3 Providing Detroit Metro Fiber to Sprint

Level 3 Communications signed an agreement to lease dark fiber in Detroit to Sprint. Financial terms were not disclosed. Sprint is using Level 3's metropolitan fiber to eliminate the access transport charges it would otherwise pay to a local exchange carrier. Level 3's metro fiber connects key traffic aggregation points throughout the region, including ILEC central offices and voice switching sites. When the fiber is lit, Sprint can hand off traffic directly to local phone companies, without having to lease access circuits at retail rates.
