Pipe Networks has selected Tyco Telecommunications as preferred supplier for a new submarine cable linking Sydney, Australia, to the key international telecommunications interconnection hub at Guam. Project Runway is Pipe Networks’ vision to improve Australia’s international communications transmission capacity and transform the economics of the local internet and telecommunications markets. Tyco has committed to a target RFP date of end of Q4 2008. This would allow Pipe to interconnect and provision customers in Q1 2009. Pipe Networks will not proceed with the project unless the firm commitments ensure the financial viability of the project.
