History [edit]
Originally formed in 1999, Bandwidth.com began as a home office start-up company in a spare bedroom of co-founder David Morken's Park City, Utah home.[2] His goal was to form a telecommunications procurement company that focused on three key points of quality: selection, savings, and service. The company's rapid growth led him to relocate the business to Cary, North Carolina. As of November 10, 2012, Bandwidth.com maintains a workforce of over 300 employees, and had reported 2009 revenues in excess of US $87 million.[3]
Partnership [edit]
In July 2011, Bandwidth.com started working with Alabama's 911 centers to allow people to send text messages, pictures and videos to 911 in 2013.[4] Bandwidth.com is a sponsor of the FreePBX Project.[5]
Bandwidth.com also manages the assignment of telephone numbers for Google Voice— a carrier search on a Google Voice number, for example, will indicate that the carrier's identity is Bandwidth.com.
