We didn’t have to look far to fill this roundup of M&A updates and newly announced mergers and acquisitions.
March roared in with Verizon closing its Straight Path buy – paying a huge fine in the process – and CallTower diving deeper into the cloud by purchasing Appia. The month ended on a high with Plantronics saying it would snatch up Polycom for $2 billion and Windstream wrapping its acquisition of MassComm. In the middle was CenturyLink selling off assets as a condition of its Level 3 buy.
Those are just five of the 15 noteworthy mergers and acquisitions from March that are highlighted in our roundup below. Scroll through to catch up on who’s buying whom — and why. All have channel implications.
The consolidation craze continues!
