MOX Networks, Owned By Billionaire Soon-Shiong, Expands Fiber Routes

El Segundo-based MOX Networks, the fiber optic network operator owned by billionaire Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, is expanding in West Virginia, saying it has just added a new Columbus to Ashburn route through West Virginia. The company--which says it is in the midst of a corporate branding and identity under the name MOX--did not say how much it is spending to establish the fiber optic route, only saying it will be open by Q2 of 2020. MOX Networks was founded in 2013, and says it is privately owned by Soon-Shiong, who owns a number of health and technology companies under the umbrella of NantWorks.
