Qwest Providing Network Services for DIRECTV HD

Qwest said today that DIRECTV has selected it to provide networking services supporting the delivery of the satellite provider's local HD content. This agreement stems from Qwest's recent acquisition of OnFiber.

According to the companies, Qwest will provide its state-of-the-art metro optical wavelength services, or QWave, to upgrade DIRECTV's network infrastructure. With this upgrade, DIRECTV will be able to distribute and transport HDTV content to millions of its customers. Qwest will be a major network services provider for DIRECTV, offering the company access to Qwest's network to transfer television and movie content.
