November 21, 2009
Calix Files IPO. Will Cyan Be Mike Hatfield's Next Big Hit? | www.businessweek.com
In a 2005 BusinessWeek article, Calix’ CEO was quoted as saying: "The only thing that would cause me to go public is if we wanted to go do an acquisition. I don't know why else I'd do it." It was clear to us earlier this year that he had evidently not changed his stance in justifying an IPO.

November 18, 2009
West Virginia protests Frontier's Verizon acquisition | www.fiercetelecom.com
The gloves are coming off one final time between Verizon and West Virginia. The state is probably going to be so relieved to get Verizon out that it will likely play ball with Frontier.
