Cable One, Clearwave Say Combining Will Benefit Customers

Cable One's takeover of Clearwave will result in expanded offerings to a broader customer base, and Clearwave customers won't see any immediate changes to services, rates, or terms and conditions, the companies said Tuesday seeking FCC approval. They announced the deal's plans Monday (see here). They expect it to close in Q1. Fiber network operator Clearwave has more than 2,400 route miles in southern Illinois.
