I will be updating my metro fiber and on-net building list over the next week or two, so if there’s data that anyone out there thinks ought to be included please send it along. In the meantime, here’s a quick look at a few items in the metro fiber space over the past few days:
Western CLEC integra-telecom has made both managed and hosted PBC services available across its entire footprint. This is another step along the company’s path to addressing a wider swath of enterprises. Much of Integra’s PR lately has been fiber-related, but of course the voice side of things remains a big part of their business. Integra still seems likely to be a target of M&A at some point next year.
Over in New England, sidera picked up a contract with Acetylon Pharmaceuticals. They will be using Sidera’s Internet Access services to power their headquarters in Boston’s Seaport district. The contract follows a $28M round of funding for Acetylon, allowing the R&D outfit to expand its network infrastructure amongst other things of course.
And zayo continues to dot those i’s and cross those t’s after the 360Networks deal. Yesterday they closed on a $315M five year term loan, which is up from the initial $295M they had originally sought and goes toward the $345M purchase price. Zayo now has $710.5M of debt on the books.
