Global Crossing

Global Crossing was a telecommunications company that provided data and voice services globally. Founded in 1997, it became known for its extensive fiber optic network, which allowed for high-capacity internet and telecommunication services. At its peak, the company was considered a major player in the telecom sector, especially during the dot-com boom. However, Global Crossing faced significant challenges in the early 2000s, particularly during the telecom crash and subsequent economic downturn.
