Bala Cynwyd, PA - October 30, 2001 - ATX, a leading integrated communications provider with approximately 40,000 business customers and 400,000 consumer subscribers, has been selected by the City of Philadelphia as their telecommunications provider for a third term. ATX, which has twice before won the bid to provide the entire city's long distance services, has again extended this longstanding relationship through a one-year agreement with the city, which is renewable yearly for three more years at the city's discretion. This agreement, involving tens of thousands of phone lines in several city government offices, came after months of a complex bidding process.
Vincent Costello, Director of Communications, Engineering, and Cable Television Services for the City of Philadelphia, is extremely pleased with this renewal. "We greatly enjoy working with ATX for our telecommunications services, due to the outstanding level of service and high response to our questions."
"The City of Philadelphia is motivated by our longstanding relationship, exceptional service, and our ability to respond quickly to their needs - they call, we jump," states Steve Gold, Manager of Major Markets at ATX, who has been working with the city over the last eight years. "Overall, they are quite satisfied with the service we provide to them and they have shown every desire to continue this relationship in the future."
ATX and city officials are currently exploring additional opportunities to work together, including adding the city's Internet and data services to those entrusted to ATX.
