The TCA has over 370 agent members now. Certification is underway. Are you becoming a Certified Telecom Professional?  

STS Telecom and Saturn Telecommunications became part of Deltacom today, which is now EarthLink Business, according to an FCC filing. STS in its day was a big UNE-P shop. When UNE-P went away, STS moved to VoIP using a Sylantro softswitch.  Press release about acquisition.

TV White Spaces is still up in the air (<get it?) but rural regions, where it is most needed, probably won't see it. [see law blog here] It could be to help the Rural Telcos, although couldn't they deploy white spaces?

Cbeyond has been an MVNO for a while, but it just started outsourcing its handset fulfillment to Telespree

Fairpoint emerged from BK.

Investment house Pivotal has purchased $65M of debt and financing of Global Capacity Group while it is in bankruptcy.

We have all heard that Eric Schmidt has stepped down as CEO of Google with $100M in his suitcase. Key thought: What got you here today, will not get you there tomorrow.

Vonage is in the midst of a class action settlement.

Pension payments are sinking the ILEC's. Embarq/CenturyLink has already tried to wipe pension obligations away. AT&T and Verizon took huge write offs to right the pension ship.
