CLEC M&A increasing ...

Well, after years of going very much sideways, it looks like the asset value for CLECs on the M&A front is finally on the upswing. Back in May, Telepacific announced a transaction with Mpower. On Friday, Time Warner Telecom announced a merger with Xspedius, and today, Cleartel announced a merger with SupraTelecom.

Let's hope we're well beyond the bottom and that the upswing continues.
