Telecom in the News: November 2011

At the end of the month, NWMAP Telecom likes to update our agents and clients on the Telecom that made news.

One of our carriers has seen a lot of news this past month; Paetec recently acquired former Intellifiber/Cavalier and the acquisition between Paetec and Windstream has the FCC’s approval. What does this mean for customers? As stated by the agency: “poses no significant competitive harms and should provide benefits to residential and business customers resulting from Windstream offering a broader range of competitive services in the markets served by the combined company.”

Integra continues to up their game. We’re hearing from them in the news continuously and it clearly symbolizes their increasingly predominant presence in the telecom industry. To better provide customers telecom services, Integra Telecom is reaching out by putting ADTRAN to work on Ethernet solutions.

Another source for Telecom news concerning your business and HD video meetings is https://blog.imeet.com/. Recently they’ve focused on a series of blog postings about digital meetings disasters. This is valuable for those that have iMeet services and those wanting to learn about the technology.

Hope you’ve had an excellent November, from NWMAP!
