Uniti to Take Over Windstream Operations in $13.4 Billion Deal

Overall, the merger between Windstream and Uniti is set to create a national fiber powerhouse with a focus on expanding FTTH services and digital infrastructure offerings. The combined company, to be named Uniti, will initially serve over 1.1 million customers and 1.5 million existing homes passed, with plans to expand its reach even further. The transaction is expected to close in about a year, and the new entity will be led by Uniti’s current leadership team. This move marks a significant step in the evolution of both companies and their commitment to providing high-speed fiber internet services to communities across the country.
