Arkansas telecom firms move ahead with $13 billion merger

 

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other leaders were reassurred this week that a more than $13 billion merger between Little Rock telecom firms Uniti Group Inc. (Nasdaq: UNIT) and Windstream Holdings Inc. is still on track to create a “national fiber powerhouse.”

It’s what Uniti CEO Kenny Gunderman told the state leaders as they gathered for a media briefing. He will lead the new group that will keep the Uniti name and become the largest independent fiber provider in the country, according to a report by Arkansas Business.
