growing demand for wholesale IP transit in the region," Mr. Wheeler
added.

a Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Sao Paulo in 2011 the company has been
building relationships with local providers of Internet services (ISPs),
content providers (ICPs) and other Internet-centric businesses that want
to expand their reach globally, as well as with foreign companies trying
to enter this dynamic marketplace.
