Breaking: Networx Universal Awarded

Kim Hart writes in The Washington Post:

AT&T Inc., Qwest Communications International Inc. and Verizon Inc. were awarded the government's largest telecommunications contract in history, leaving Sprint Nextel Corp. out of a deal potentially worth up to $48 billion over the next 10 years.

The three winners will now compete for individual contracts with the 135 agencies that are expected to buy telecom services and products through the contract, known as Networx Universal. The contract covers voice, video and data services that will be used throughout the United States as well as in nearly 200 countries worldwide.
