“WTG is proud to be a channel partner with Telx, one of the fastest-growing interconnection and colocation companies in the U.S. today,” said Vince Bradley, President and CEO, World Telecom Group. “We see great value in the fact that Telx is carrier-neutral, allowing our customers to be one cross-connect away from a secure, direct connection to any of the 750 carriers, ISPs, media/content and enterprises within the Telx ecosystem.
