The first Internet Protocol network to stretch right across the US was launched yesterday by an unexpected player - water company, Enron.

The company's communications subsidiary announced that Cisco and Ciena would provide the architecture for its high-speed network.

So far, Enron is underway on the Western side of its national network. Joe Hirko, CEO and president of Enron Communications, said that the fibres would be lit next year.

He added that Cisco's 12000GB Switch Routers and Ciena's MultiWave Sentry 4000 Dense Wave Division Multiplexing would bring video to desktops right across the US.
