Windstream Communications, according to an FCC filing issued on December 26, 2017, will be acquiring (MassComm) in an all-cash transaction. Windstream operates a local and long-haul fiber network spanning approximately 150,000 route miles and provides services over fixed wireless infrastructure in 40 markets.
Windstream would purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of MassComm, which would then become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Windstream.
MassComm is a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) providing telecommunications and connectivity management, consultation and development solutions for voice, data, and network technologies to mid-sized global enterprise customers. It provides competitive local exchange service and/or interexchange service in California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
The document filed with the FCC said the transaction “poses no risk to competition or the public interest as MassComm doesn’t own any last-mile facilities.”
