The government of Texas has reportedly chosen Time Warner (News - Alert) Cable to provide network and internet solutions to all government agencies in the state.

Time Warner has not disclosed financial details of the deal, but informed that the multi-year service contract will be carried out by its subsidiary Time Warner Cable Business Class (TWCBC).

The State of Texas DIR, through the Tex-AN network, provides statewide communications technology services to more than 600 state agencies, as well as institutions of higher education, public education, local government, and other publicly funded customers.

Under the new contract, TWCBC will offer Internet, Ethernet, and SoHo remote access services for teleworking and branch office connectivity to help state organizations reduce costs and improve operations.

“State agencies will now be able to procure our fiber services and leading networking solutions to meet their growing technology and strict budgetary demands,” said Michael Petty, regional vice president of business services, Time Warner Cable Business Class.

Broadband and fiber solutions, delivered over the Time Warner Cable Business Class network, enable government agencies to have the information and resources needed to run their day-to-day and long-term operations.
