WilTel Carries 4 Billion Voice Minutes per Month

WilTel Communications has enhanced its On-Net voice capabilities to enable its carrier customers to and terminate on-net voice traffic to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. WilTel said its network is delivering nearly 4 billion minutes each month -- double the traffic volume delivered by WilTel just one year ago -- for CLECs, IXCs, resellers and UNE-P carriers. WilTel's nationwide domestic voice network using Feature Group-D (FG-D) facilities originates and terminates 100% of all domestic traffic on-
net, and is not dependent on third party network providers.

In light of the FCC's recent ruling, customers can rest assured that traffic carried by WilTel originates and terminates on the PSTN and is routed to a FG-D-based solution," said Blaine Gilles, vice president of WilTel voice services and strategic markets. "In addition, we have already developed transport solutions for IP-originated voice traffic and plan to offer substantial enhancements to these services later this year."http://www.wiltel.com
