Broadwing Communications Announces North America's Largest Fiber-Based, Real-Time Media Multicast Solution; Allows Customers to Distribute Media Content Like `Satellite on the Ground'.

LAS VEGAS -- Broadwing Communications, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of Broadwing Corporation (NASDAQ: BWNG), today announced the availability of North America's largest fiber-based, real-time media multicast solution that allows media and broadcasting outlets to more efficiently and cost-effectively distribute media content to multiple locations. The service is available from any of Broadwing's 180+ network Points of Presence (POPs). Managed by Broadwing's Television Operations Center (TOC), the Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode (DTM) Multicast solution combines the best aspects of existing point-to-multipoint technologies without their complexity, inefficiency or security concerns.

"Our customers can leverage this unique service using their native media applications without the need to introduce a higher layer protocol, such as ATM or IP," said Del Bothof, vice president and general manager of Broadwing's media services group. "Our DTM Multicast technology is a highly efficient and reliable customer solution -- like having a satellite solution on the ground."

Broadwing's DTM Multicast solution delivers optimized, asymmetrical bandwidth provisioning with 100 percent Quality of Service (QoS), which makes much more efficient use of network resources and translates into better price and performance for customers. Coupled with the flexibility to easily allocate bandwidth in 512 Kbps increments from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps, customers truly only pay for exactly what they use.

"With its Real Time DTM Multicast service, Broadwing has created a very compelling offering for the market -- a best-of-all-worlds solution," said Mukul Krishna, Frost & Sullivan Industry Manager for Digital Media. "For point-to-multipoint broadcasts, their customers receive the simplicity and efficiency of satellite, the asymmetrical bandwidth of ATM and the scalability of IP, and they negate any of the downsides that used to be present with going with any of those solutions individually."

In October 2005, Broadwing announced the expansion of its Media Services Network to more than 40 U.S. markets, giving Broadwing the largest DTM footprint in North America and the largest reach globally. This previously announced milestone was necessary to meet growing demand for media services, driven in large part by the 2005-2006 seasons of major sports associations and leagues.
