M5 Announced Emergency Assistance Plan to Rescue One Connect IP Subsidiary of SkyWi Network
M5 Networks announced emergency assistance plan to assist One Connect IP, a subsidiary of SkyWi Network, New Mexico's largest independently owned and operated ISP.
New York (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 12, 2009 -- M5 Networks announced emergency assistance plan to assist One Connect IP, a subsidiary of SkyWi Network, New Mexico's largest independently owned and operated ISP. To assist One Connect IP customers affected by the outages as quickly as possible, M5 is offering all One Connect IP customers free number porting and free installation using existing Cisco hardware through January 30th, 2009.
On December 30th, 2008, Qwest Communications shut down the network of SkyWi, Inc., leaving tens of thousands of customers without service. The customers affected subscribed to services under One Connect IP and Zianet, wholly owned subsidiaries of SkyWi, and include residential, business and government accounts in New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Texas.
SkyWi's Complaint, filed on December 5, 2008, cites multiple claims of Qwest's predatory, anti-competitive and unfair trade practices and of its attempts to force SkyWi and One Connect IP/Zianet to close its operations as an Internet service provider (ISP) which compete directly with Qwest. SkyWi has requested a preliminary injunction be entered against Qwest ordering it to treat SkyWi as it would any other company and to provide access and services free from unfair trade practices. SkyWi has also petitioned for the disqualification of Qwest's legal representation, on the basis that Qwest's legal counsel had previously represented One Connect IP. The federal judge scheduled a hearing on the disqualification request for January 5, 2009 and re-scheduled the hearing on SkyWi's request for a preliminary injunction for January 13, 2009.
