Earlier this month (August 2011), Windstream announced they were acquiring PAETEC. This acquisition will expand Windstream’s presence in the fast growing sector of tech; data centers and cloud computing. The acquisition will also increase Windstream’s fiber optic network from about 56,000 route miles in 29 states and the District of Columbia to roughly 100,000 route miles in 46 states and Washington DC.

This in addition to Windstream’s December 2010 acquisition of Kentucky Data Link (KDL), a fiber services provider, and Norlight, a competitive local exchange services company.
