TDS Telecom

TDS Telecom is a major telephone and Internet services provider. TDS Telecom has made a large donation of bandwidth to the Open Source Lab, helping millions of people review or download free software every day.

For a five-year period, the OSL will receive 2 gigabits of bandwidth − a volume of Internet connectivity that is more than five times higher than the total used by the rest of the university. In addition, OSU servers will be hosted in a TDS data center. The bandwidth provided gives the OSL the ability to host FTP servers in both New York, N.Y., and Chicago, Ill., where files for many open source projects are mirrored for download from the main FTP server hosted in Corvallis, Ore.
