Business Overview
Enron Broadband Services (EBS) delivers solutions that are changing the way the
Internet works. EBS combines the power of its global broadband network, the Enron
Intelligent Network, with a suite of customized bandwidth options and streaming
media applications to fundamentally improve the online experience. EBS is also
involved with bandwidth intermediation and content and application services.
Core Business Segments
The Enron Intelligent Network is the fiber optic infrastructure that enables businesses
and Internet content and network service providers to enrich the desktop experience by
ensuring high quality, end-to-end delivery of broadband content.
Enron's content and applications services include the transport of rich media and
streaming video to the desktop at high speeds with guaranteed quality of service.
As part of its plan to make the bandwidth market more efficient, Enron's bandwidth
intermediation business uses pooling points to provide the physical interconnectivity
between bandwidth buyers and sellers so that bandwidth can be used and provisioned
as needed, on-demand.
