"We are excited to have our line of metro Ethernet products visible to Telarus agents in GeoQuote," commented Michael Zedosky, VP of One Communications. "Allowing Telarus agents access to our Ethernet footprint will drastically shorten the time it takes them to research opportunities and reduce the number of inquiries that don't fit, both of which are key to enabling them to sell our Ethernet broadband products with great speed and efficiency."

GeoQuote's Ethernet lookup tool drastically shortens the time required to find fiber-lit buildings in any given area of the United States. Finding "lit" buildings where Ethernet broadband is available is very important to larger companies with high bandwidth requirements. By plugging in directly to a telecommunications carrier via Ethernet, customers avoid the expensive loop charges assessed by the local phone company.

"Ethernet is the future of commercial broadband," added Lance Akins, VP of Sales for Telarus. "Helping our agents find the buildings where One Communications' Ethernet services are available is our primary goal. It benefits the users and carriers together, since the cost per meg is lower to the end user, and the margin is much higher for the service provider - all without the local Bell in the middle of the relationship."

"We appreciate One's cooperation and commitment to work with us on this project," added Andrew Morgan, VP of Web Development for Telarus, Inc. "Having One Communications Ethernet products available in real-time makes our tools that much more valuable to our users."
