Primus Telecommunications Group Inc

A global telecommunications provider founded in 1994 and based in McLean, Virginia, Primus built and ran its own networks to deliver voice, data, and internet services to homes, businesses, and other carriers. Its name comes from the Latin word for "first," a nod to its ambition as a pioneering carrier. The company expanded into the U.S. in 1995 and grew through acquisitions like Australia's Axicorp in 1996.
