Cogent will add Stockholm, Sweden to its European footprint, the ISP announced today at a customer event in Amsterdam. The expansion is in response to customer demand, the company said.

"Cogent is responding to customer demand and multiple requests from businesses looking to bring Cogent's quality Internet service and pricing to Sweden," said Dave Schaeffer, CEO of Cogent Communications. "We are looking forward to launching service in Stockholm in the very near future and want to take this opportunity while in Amsterdam to personally thank our loyal customers for their business today and continued future support as we expand our presence throughout Europe."

Schaeffer and other Cogent officials are in Amsterdam to meet with telecom industry executives and others.
