Big M&A Update: Telarus, Mitel, CenturyLink, More

It’s been 32 years since Aretha Franklin asked, “Who’s Zoomin’ Who?” In our sometimes-monthly, sometimes-bimonthly recap of M&A activity, we answer the question, “Who’s buying whom?” (in a grammatically correct manner, of course)

What follows are highlights of mergers and acquisitions that were announced, closed or offered important updates in September and October. All will have moderate to major impact on the channel — the vendors with which partners are dealing, what they’re selling, etc.

In the gallery below, you’ll find details about Telarus’ recently announced CarrierSales acquisition, the latest on CenturyLink-Level 3, Mitel-ShoreTel and more.
