Telecommunications

We continually strive to provide our tenants the greatest choice in lowest cost and most reliable telecommunications service. To this end, we have signed license agreements with various telecommunications service providers and will continue to add to the list so that, in spite of the age and complexity of the building, the Chicago Board of Trade telecommunications infrastructure remains as good or better than in any building in the city. The Summary of Telecommunications Providers below offers a list of vendors currently providing service in the building, an outline of the services they provide, and contact information. We also offer detailed information on building telecommunications policies via our Telecommunications Handbook.
