(IDG) -- Utility company-turned-ISP Enron plans to speed up development of its broadband Internet service through an arrangement with Sun Microsystems that was announced Thursday.
Specifically, Sun will work with Enron Broadband Services to build its broadband infrastructure and operating system.
Under the agreement, Enron bought 18,000 Sun Netra servers to expand its footprint to more than 2,000 points of presence. Sun then purchased broadband video-streaming services from Enron.
