Feds seek bids for massive telecom buy

Carolyn Duffy Marsan writes in Network World that:

The U.S. government is now seeking bids on a 10-year, $20 billion telecommunications services buy that is believed to be the largest pending network deal in the world, and carriers say they’re ready to respond.

The Networx program will provide legacy and leading-edge voice, data and video services to all U.S. federal agencies. Most major U.S. telecom carriers - AT&T, MCI, SBC, Sprint, Qwest and Verizon - are planning to bid on it.
