Teleport Communications Group (TCG) laid its foundation in the year 1985 becoming the first Competitive local exchange carrier in the geographical boundaries of U.S. It started serving the present telephone companies with dial tone and an array of sophisticated telecommunications services. TCG, a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC), in United States provides the telecommunication services and also competes with already established carriers which are also called incumbent local exchange carriers (ILEC).
Within few years of its service, TCG started serving 65 major US markets and was had a revenue of $800 million. Being the first of its kind, TCG’s success was marked as a milestone resulting in great competition within the local US telephone market.

Expansion & Growth

And, in 1993, TCG planned to expand it’s headquarter and station it to Teleport Satellite Communications Center in Staten Island. According to the sources, company expanded its floor area as well from 40,000 sq. ft to 64,000 sq. ft. The operating network had more than 600 miles of fiber optic cable, which included 350+ miles in the cosmopolitan areas of New York and New Jersey.
Roger Cawley, director of Telecommunications Group said that the company plans to include 12 new cities to its wide range of network locations. This ever growing telecommunication company already had New York, Boston, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to its kitty.

Services
Apart from the wide range of telecommunication services also serviced long distance carriers, financial services, banks, market exchanges (including NYSE and AMEX), media companies (including Dow Jones and AP), and the three major television networks.

Telecommunications Act & Acquisition
With the immediate success of the Teleport Communications Group, government passed a Telecommunications Act in 1996 which paved the way for the new entrants in the telecommunications industry. Soon many CLEC’s entered and survived by serving existing telephone companies.

AT&T and TCG deal was so huge that another merger at the same time of another telecom industry of $4.4 billion was overshadowed. This merger was named them as an industry-leading competitive access provider.
After two years of the act, AT&T acquired TCG for a whooping sum of $12 billion. TCG was traded publicly TCG (NASDAQ, TCGI) having largest investors including cable TV companies TCI, Comcast and Cox Communications.
