CFN Services continues a 25-year history of providing carriers with telecom infrastructure services.
Where We’ve Been…
Bringing Wal-Mart economics to wireless and wireline network operators
Solving the TDM access dilemma Driving platform economics around
metro access networks
CFNS specializes in fiber-based transport networks and facilities Leased transport off-net to on-net
network optimization Custom fiber network design,
sourcing, and deployment services
Wireline & wireless network backhaul Design/Deployed fiber networks for
Sprint-Nextel, AT&T, MCI, Verizon, Level 3, Broadwing
…What We Do Today
As CSX Corp, Co-founded Lightnet, 4th largest long haul network prior to sale in 1989
Since 1983, helped over 50 carriers deploy almost 20,000 route miles of fiber along rail corridor ($10B in plant & equipment)
CSX Corp launched CSX Fiber Networks in late 2001 to manage fiber lease business
In the past several years, deployed custom-integrated dark fiber networks in metro markets for major carrier clients
Built what is today FiberSource® as internal dark fiber planning and integration platform to price and deliver fiber networks
CSX FN, LLC spun off in August ’05 – becomes CFN Services, Inc.
CFN Services Provides Telecom Infrastructure Services

New incremental access cost curve (CFNS optimized infrastructure platform)
Current linear access cost curve Access Dilemma: Local access was a
$30B cost for carriers in 2005; 53% and 38% of MCI and ATT topline; 40-60% of wireless network operating costs.
Carriers are facing rapidly increasing transport volumes due to data services bandwidth growth (e.g. Ethernet MAN) and 3G wireless services expansion
Facilities based infrastructure provides significant bulk capacity with low incremental growth costs effectively “flattening” the access cost curve
CFN’s platform approach enables carriers to enhance profitability as volumes grow without requiring new capex/opex
– Optimized Transport Network Platforms Flatten the Access Cost Curve – ILLUSTRATIVE
Bringing Wal*Mart economics to wireless and wireline network operators to solve the TDM local access transport network dilemma.
Facilities based platform deployment
Carriers facing local access transport volume growth achieve better economics with a facilities based platform approach.
