AMSTERDAM -- Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc., (MFN) (Nasdaq:MFNX), the leader in deployment of optical IP Internet infrastructure within key metropolitan areas internationally, and its subsidiary AboveNet Communications, have unveiled Dublin as the next market in MFN's continued expansion of its high-speed, highly reliable IP network in Europe. The Dublin ISX facility is scheduled to be opened in mid-2001 and MFN will have operational ISX facilities in Paris and Amsterdam by the end of 2000.
