Attributes Key Market Position to its 164% Percent Revenue Growth
NEW YORK, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FiberNet Telecom Group
has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program
for New York, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology
companies in the area. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue
growth over five years from 2000-2004. FiberNet President & CEO
Jon A. DeLuca credits the company's 164% percent revenue growth
from 2000-2004, with FiberNet's leading market position to provide
complex interconnection services that enable the proliferation of
global networks. Mr. DeLuca said, "Making it to the Deloitte
Technology Fast 50 list is a testament to FiberNet's vision and
commitment. We are very proud to be able to meet the challenges of
our dynamic industry and maintain our competitive edge through
continuing innovation and customer focus." FiberNet's increase in
revenues of 164% percent from 2000 to 2004 resulted in a 40 ranking
in the Technology Fast 50 for New York. The average increase in
revenues among companies who made the Technology Fast 50 for this
region was 36% percent. This is the first time that the regional
Fast 50 program has focused on the entire state; previously, the
program focused on the New York City metropolitan area. "Sustaining
high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional
accomplishment," said Ed Moran, a director at Deloitte Services LP
who leads the product innovation group and is the chairperson of
the New York Technology Fast 50. "We commend FiberNet for making
the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of
market longevity. We are proud to honor FiberNet as a Deloitte
Technology Fast 50 winner." To qualify for the New York Technology
Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least
$50,000 in 2000 and $1,000,000 in 2004, be headquartered in the
state, and be a "technology company," defined as a company that
owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant
portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a
significant proportion of revenues to the research and development
of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way
does not qualify. About FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc. FiberNet
