CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Sep 24, 2013) -   Global Capacity, the leading network connectivity company, today announces its selection by WOW!, the ninth-largest cable provider in the United States and leading provider of high-speed Internet, cable TV, and phone throughout the Midwest and Southeast, to expand the reach of WOW!'s network footprint and connect its on-net assets to a wider national and global market.

WOW!'s interconnect to Global Capacity's One Marketplace Chicago Point of Presence (PoP) enables the efficient delivery of higher bandwidth private line and Ethernet services. Global Capacity's One Marketplace provides automated pricing and streamlined service delivery as well as transparent visibility into on-net buildings and service availability for networks. Furthermore, One Marketplace's visibility arms WOW! with real-time industry intelligence on market price, demand and supply, allowing the cable provider to decrease its overall time to market and sell its services more competitively.
