Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE:LVLT, news, filings) today announced that it has signed an agreement with the National Museum of American Jewish History, a Philadelphia-based museum dedicated to chronicling the American Jewish experience, to provide the museum with dedicated Internet access (DIA) service in support of the museum’s new interactive digital exhibits and online content.
Level 3’s Internet access will be used to support the museum’s new facility at 101 S.

The new service will also be used by the museum to employ an e-commerce application to facilitate museum membership and charitable contributions.
“Sharing the rich story of American Jewish history requires equally rich mediums, and Level 3’s DIA service will enable us to provide a dynamic experience,” said Michael Rosenzweig, the museum’s president and CEO. “We chose Level 3 due to its exceptional service reputation and connections to our key hosting vendors and we are delighted to have its support in providing our visitors and patrons with a vibrant look into the extraordinary history of American Jews.”
