Cogent to Acquire PSINet's U.S. Operations
February 27, 2002
By dc.internet.com Staff
Optical Internet service provider Cogent Communications Group, Inc. (Quote) has agreed to acquire the major U.S. operating assets of bankrupt Internet backbone PSINet, Inc. The acquisition includes portions of PSINet's U.S. customer base and network, certain equipment, and three hosting centers. Terms of the transaction were not initially disclosed.
The agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of certain bidding and auction procedures, and approval of the sale itself.
In June, claiming total liabilities of $4.3 billion, PSINet, the pioneering wholesale Internet service provider that went on an aggressive acquisition binge over the last four years, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Included in the filing were 24 PSINet operating subsidiaries in the U.S.
Since filing for bankruptcy protection, PSINet has sold operations in Japan, Canada and South America.
The Washington, D.C.-based Cogent focuses on delivering high speed Internet access and transport services to businesses in the multi-tenant marketplace and to service providers located in major metropolitan areas across the United States.
Cogent's network consists of a dedicated nationwide multiple OC-192 fiber backbone, multiple intra-city OC-48 fiber rings, and optically-interfaced high-speed routers. The company is currently servicing 20 metropolitan markets.
