Bringing Wal-Mart economics to wireless
largest long haul network prior to sale in and wireline network operators
1989
Solving the TDM access dilemma
Since 1983, helped over 50 carriers deploy
almost 20,000 route miles of fiber along rail
Driving platform economics around
corridor ($10B in plant & equipment) metro access networks
CSX Corp launched CSX Fiber Networks in
CFNS specializes in fiber-based
late 2001 to manage fiber lease business transport networks and facilities
In the past several years, deployed
Leased transport off-net to on-net

3. Bringing Wal*Mart economics to wireless and wireline network
operators to solve the TDM local access transport network dilemma.
ILLUSTRATIVE
– Optimized Transport Network Platforms Flatten the Access Cost Curve –
Access Dilemma: Local access was a
$30B cost for carriers in 2005; 53% and
Current linear access cost curve
38% of MCI and ATT topline; 40-60% of
wireless network operating costs.
Carriers are facing rapidly increasing
transport volumes due to data services
Recurring bandwidth growth (e.g. Ethernet MAN)
Facilities based
TDM Access and 3G wireless services expansion
platform deployment
Cost
Facilities based infrastructure provides
significant bulk capacity with low
incremental growth costs effectively
New incremental access cost curve “flattening” the access cost curve
(CFNS optimized infrastructure platform)
CFN’s platform approach enables carriers
to enhance profitability as volumes grow
without requiring new capex/opex
2x 3x
Volume
Carriers facing local access transport volume growth
achieve better economics with a facilities based platform approach.
