IT/Optical Bandwidth Demand Growing - Sign of Nation's Economic Recovery

Aptos (Santa Cruz County), CA – The nation's economy may be bouncing it's way back up in the information technology sector, or at least that is what one bandwidth brokerage company is predicting. Over the past six weeks, TopSavings.Net has claimed that more than 50 of the Fortune 500 companies have inquired into expansion or upgrades, and more are coming in at an as the weeks continue.

'When you see so many of the Fortune 500 coming in all at once, you can't help but notice that these companies are getting ready for business … big business', says Aaron Siegel, Chief Operating Officer of TopSavings.Net. "We are seeing lots of activity within federal and state government as well. Whether it's due to homeland security or a projected up rise in the economy, we are unsure, but government is coming in at just the same time as these large companies.'

According to Mr. Siegel, the majority of the inquiries are currently inquisitive due to existing contracts at the moment, but all are very serious and getting ready to either upgrade or expand their communication bandwidths for new and existing locations. One way or another these services are going to be bought, more than likely within a year following the 2004 elections when many of the current contracts expire.

Mr. Siegel believes these expansions and upgrades are a good indicator of things to come for the entire nation. "When big companies start expanding their bandwidth capabilities, they are expecting and preparing for more communication as a result of sales, production, and overall growth. Growth means more jobs for workers and more revenue productivity for the nation as a whole. It's a very good thing.'
