Level 3 Looks to New Services in 2004

New services will be the drivers of revenue growth in 2004, said James Crowe, speaking at Citigroup's 14th Annual Entertainment, Media & Telecommunications Conference in Phoenix. Over the past few months, Level 3 has more than doubled the size its addressable market by introducing new offerings including its MPLS-based (3)Flex Ethernet service, (3)VoIP Marketplace for call center operators, an enhanced (3)Flex IP voice termination service, and a new wholesale (3)Tone hosted IP telephony service. Crowe said Level 3 is planning other new service launches for 2004, including a wholesale, consumer version of (3)Tone hosted VoIP service that would be sold through DSL and cable operators.
