Telecommunications

One bounce away from the rest of the world.

Metro Denver's unique geographic location in the Mountain Tme Zone makes it the largest U.S. city with one-bounce satellite uplinks, providing companies real-time connections to six of seven continents in one business day.

Metro Denver is the birthplace of the cable television industry and cable television and digital satellite companies such as Time Warner Cable, Comcast, and EchoStar are headquartered in the region.

The Metro Denver area is also a national center for telecommunications with companies such as Qwest Communications, Lucent Technologies, Verizon Business (MCI WorldCom), Sprint, and Level 3 Communications.

Consumers can choose from more than 30 long-distance providers for intra-LATA calls, which are long distance calls within a local access transport area (LATA). The area also has an extensive fiber optic network, allowing the flow of voice and data traffic at lower prices.
