MCLEAN, Va., July 24, 2008 – Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. (“GTT”), (OTCBB: GTLT), a leading global Multi-Network Operator, announced today that it has entered a strategic agreement with U.S.-based network provider FiberLight, LLC (“FiberLight”), to provide GTT with high-capacity metro transport in several strategic U.S. markets.
This agreement enables GTT to offer its customers access to FiberLight’s dense metro ring-based network, providing competitive, last-mile connectivity across the United States. FiberLight deploys high-capacity lit and dark fiber services in eight major U.S. metro locations, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas/Ft.

GTT will offer FiberLight its full breadth of WAN solutions and services. GTT has deployed services to customers in over 70 countries worldwide, many of whom terminate traffic in the United States.
“This agreement continues to drive home the value of the Multi-Network Operator,” said Richard D. Calder, Jr., GTT’s president and CEO. “This partnership with FiberLight strengthens our metro access position in several key U.S. markets, while providing FiberLight the benefits of our global footprint. FiberLight’s rapid deployment of high capacity services in competitive U.S. markets further emphasizes GTT’s value in the market place.”
Michael Miller, FiberLight CEO, said, “We are excited about our new
partnership with GTT. This agreement gives us instant access to a variety
of European markets and, with the expansion of our Wavelength, SONET, and
Ethernet services in the metro markets, provides GTT customers with an outstanding
network alternative.”
