Time Warner Telecom announced the installation of a multi-year contract to deliver dedicated Internet services to the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) in Columbus. Time Warner Telecom installed dedicated Internet service to deliver Internet access to all Ohio state agencies, boards and commissions; as well as state funded K-12 educational institutions, and public libraries. The service is located in DAS Columbus locations at Rhodes Office Tower (OC-12) and the State of Ohio Computer Center (OC-48).

Time Warner Telecom made the financial investment to install a second local Internet point of presence (POP) to deliver redundancy and to eliminate the backhauling of Internet traffic for Columbus businesses. Moreover, the second POP ensures high availability for DAS and other local businesses. Time Warner Telecom is the only local carrier to offer diverse, redundant optical connections to the Internet via equipment located in Columbus.
