Fiber Internet Center is a business-oriented Internet service provider based in California.
History[edit]
Bob Evans founded started marketing fiber optic communication services for businesses doing business as Fiber Internet Center in 2001. Gus Sanchez, a Cisco Systems salesperson, joined Evans. On November 22, 2002, it became a member of the American Registry for Internet Numbers and began building a California focused backbone to provide Internet access operating under the International Autonomous System Number 26803.[1][2]
On June 8, 2004, it filed with the State of California and became Fiber Internet Center, LLC.[3] The headquarters is still in Palo Alto, California.
Expansion[edit]
In 2005 the network added direct peering for one-hop router access to content providers and search engine companies. In addition it has created a very well multi-homed backbone for ip-transit. The facilities are located on the data center telecom carrier floors. This is where cross connection between carriers takes place. This makes Fiber Internet Center a Tier 2 network provider.[citation needed]
Fiber Internet Center helped establish the Internet Peering Exchange called Any2 at Coresite facilities. Primary goal in peering was to establish route server peering abilities that enabled hundreds of networks to peer with each other using a single border Gateway Protocol, (BGP) peering session. Any2[4] grew rapidly with this expansion. Success occurred and hundreds of ISPs and enterprise businesses are interconnected this way. CoreSite now directly manages the route server peering.
A Fiber Internet Center YouTube Channel[5] is maintained where customers as well as IT professionals throughout the world can quickly learn solutions to complex Internet problems and situations. Such as, how selecting the wrong VOIP provider can make every local phone call a problematic long-distance call.
