DENVER -- Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q), the broadband communications company, today announced that it has recently signed multi-year agreements for approximately $100 million in revenue from virtual private network (VPN) services. Qwest was one of the first companies to offer global VPN services, which give businesses of all sizes the ability to connect remote offices and mobile employees securely through intranets and extranets. In recent months, Qwest has reached VPN agreements with Global 1000 and nationally recognized corporations, including Petco Animal Supplies, Inc., RBC Dain Rauscher and Alliance Gaming Corp. -- owner of Bally Gaming and Systems.
