What's in The Deal Pipeline Today? (The Deal)

In the landscape of telecommunications, Windstream Corp.'s purchase of business services provider NuVox Inc. earlier in November may have an influence that is larger than its $643 million price tag.

The deal represents a shift in rural telecommunications, an industry in which competitors often looked within their own ranks for acquisitions. The move follows Comcast Corp.'s purchase of a Chicago phone company targeting business users in October, and may indicate more aggressive jockeying between telecoms and cable providers for small and medium-sized employers.
