It wouldn't affect operations. They transferred their infrastructure into a new 
company with a long term lease of that infrastructure. Both companies are free 
to do business with other companies, so their infrastructure arm has bought PEG 
Bandwidth and TowerCloud. Now Windstream (with minimal actual fiber of its own) 
buys a fiber provider.

Mike can you expand on windstream getting rid of their fiber? Im asking because 
we are considering renewing a circuit with them.

Earthlink owns a bunch of glass in the ground (well, and some IRUs), but 
Windstream just got rid of all of theirs. Hrm.

Are you familiar with “The Yarn of the Nancy Bell”?

 

"Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold,
And the mate of the Nancy brig,
And a bo'sun tight, and a midshipmite,
And the crew of the captain's gig!"

And now it appears that they won't be.

Add Time Warner, Netsuite, and Earthlink to the dustbin.
