But, Wait! There's More! (Part 2!)

August 6, 2014

Previously, I made a push to demonstrate that SIP Trunking was moving beyond Early Adopter towards Early Majority. Several facts point to the increasing demand and shorter buying cycle. Before the end of 2015, SIP Trunk sales will exceed T1s, with Infonetics reporting that 58% of the 300 companies surveyed plan to purchase SIP Trunks (versus 55% buying T1s). Granted the percentages are close, and probably within the margin of error, but the difference represents a significant trend in the adoption of SIP Trunks over the last few years.

IRS Approves Windstream REIT for Asset Spin Off

August 1, 2014

Windstream came up with the novel approach of designating its network circuits (fiber or copper) as real estate, and recently received approval from the Internal Revenue Service. The new designation was allowed using the legal definition of “real estate,” or income earning assets that cannot be moved. Certainly, a copper or fiber circuit falls into that category. Windstream will use the approval by the IRS to create a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), which will be spun off into another investment opportunity for interested parties.
