Growth-hungry internet services company Verio Inc has acquired again, this time scooping up independent service provider new- york.net, its third acquisition in the Empire State this year. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Earlier this year, Verio acquired Long Island-based LI Net and New York City-based SpaceLab. Founded in 1992, new-york.net provides primarily dedicated access, from 56K to T3 service, to more than 200 customers in New York and New Jersey, which include the National Football League, the American National Standards Institute and Sumitomo Bank Capital Markets. Englewood, Colorado- based Verio claims that total revenues for new-york.net were roughly $900,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The company will begin operating under the Verio brand name – something it is trying hard to build recognition for on a national level.
