Baltimore -- 24/7 Fiber Network, a dark fiber network provider, last week said that it is planning to expand its coverage into underserved markets throughout the Delmarva Peninsula and into the metro Washington, D.C. area. The company is constructing a dark fiber footprint deep to Salisbury, MD and Wilmington, DE. This network will then continue into the Baltimore metro area and from there it will connect to 24/7's long-haul route directly into the Washington, D.C. market.
