Electronic Arts has selected two companies, Metromedia Fiber and subsidiary Abovenet Communication, as partners to provide optical Internet infrastructure for EA's future web plans. Abovenet is in the process of creating an all optical IP architecture over a dedicated fiber optic network throughout Europe and North America. EA will co-locate servers at Abovenet's Virginia and California hubs and will also lease unmeter fiber from Metromedia to enhance East Coast connectivity.
