competitive services that will continue to keep our customers satisfied. The BSR
64000’s scalability means that these services can be delivered in a very
cost-effective manner. The Motorola BSR 64000 is truly a next-generation
platform and yet another step in improving Internet performance for
Telenet’s customers.”
