CORY COMMUNICATIONS CLIENTS WILL BENEFIT FROM INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION!

Cory Communications is delighted to share news about one of the industry’s most recent developments, the $1.3 billion merger between PAETEC and US LEC, finalized on February 28, 2007.  This news has a positive bearing on Cory’s corporate customers.

Both PAETEC and US LEC distribute services through firms such as Cory and deliver a range of world-class voice, data, equipment and enterprise management services.  Both firms also have an overriding commitment to customer service.  

Cory has long relied on US LEC to provide telecom services for our medium to large corporate clients.  We have found US LEC to be 100% customer-driven and extremely forward thinking. 

Likewise, Cory has always had the highest regard for PAETEC, an equally cutting-edge company with an unsurpassed commitment to service.

Both Cory and the new company to be called PAETEC Holding Corporation (PAETEC) plan to continue a strong working relationship.

“PAETEC looks forward to continuing to build upon the successful relationship between Cory Communications and US LEC and assures Cory customers of every effort to provide service excellence,” said Chris Bantoft, President, Alternate Channels for PAETEC.

With US LEC’s resources, the enhanced PAETEC will be in a position to offer a wider array of products and services and bring even greater value to customers.

This merger, unlike others in the industry, was not born from necessity.  PAETEC Chairman and CEO Arunas Chesonis reports, “we believe this business combination solidifies PAETEC’s position as the premier choice for business telecommunications services.”

Cory Communications is always seeking ways to help clients save on telecom costs and take advantage of the revolutionary changes occurring across the industry.  With the PAETEC – US LEC merger, we feel we can do just that.

FURTHER INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION ENHANCES CORY’S SERVICES!

For years, Cory Communications has partnered with InfoHighway a technologically-savvy NY-based telecommunications company. This firm will now be acquired by Broadview Networks, a leader in integrated communications. Finalization of the transaction is expected in the second quarter of 2007.

Cory views the pending acquisition as a tremendous development for its small business clients because InfoHighway has consistently been one of Cory’s preferred providers for small to medium businesses. 

Likewise, Brian Crotty, Broadview Networks’ COO sees significant benefits for Cory customers,

Crotty says, the InfoHighway acquisition will “increase technological assets and expertise, and give us more competitive offerings to meet the growing demand for communications infrastructure, security and productivity solutions.”

Crotty adds that “Broadview looks forward to extending the resources of this powerful combination to enhance the strong relationships between InfoHighway…and the many businesses Cory serves.”

Broadview has a history of successful growth through mergers and acquisitions. Notable expansion came in 2005 through a merger with Bridgecom and again in 2006 when ATX joined the company.  Broadview has become increasingly competitive and has broadened its range of products to include voice, data, hosted Voice over IP and managed telecommunications for small to medium size firms.

Importantly for the small to medium size businesses, Broadview’s integration of InfoHighway will boost resources, people, and capabilities so that Broadview can be the leading solutions provider along the United States’ east coast, considered among the worlds’ largest business communications corridors.

We at Cory are thrilled to see growth of a firm with such a strong offering for small to medium sized companies.
