In issue 432 of the Digest, Jane Fraser asks for information about New
York Teleport.

New York Teleport is on Staten Island (an island whose presence
creates the Arthur Kill, receptor of almost daily oil spills).  It is
basically a site with multiple satellite antennas and facilities
(fiber, I think) for getting data to and from other parts of New York,
but primarily the financial district in Manhattan.  I believe the
major partner is the Port of New York Authority.

There are two listings in the Manhattan phone book which seem related:

  Teleport Communications, 5 Teleport Drive, Staten Island   718 983-2000
  Teleport Communications Ny, 2 World Trade Center, NY       718 983-2000

Hope that helps you.  If you find out something interesting, let us know
in the Digest.
