MCI said it had inaugurated the nation's first transcontinental information superhighway by using fiber optic technology that operates at speeds 15 times faster than any network currently available. It said the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET), better known as the Internet, is the first user of its New York to Los Angeles system. Under the development program, MCI's SONET (for synchronous optical network) technology will be available on its domestic network by the end of 1994 and on international routes across the Atlantic and the Pacific by 1995.
