E ndstream Communications announced
today that it has completed the acqui-
sition of the assets of Mainstream
Communications Inc., a provider of wholesale
voice termination.
“Mainstream and Endstream are complemen-
tary businesses, and through the acquisition of
Mainstream’s assets we can immediately recog-
nize the synergies of the merged assets,” said
Erik Levitt, Endstream’s CEO.
Brian Stone, Mainstream’s CEO, will join the
Endstream management team as partner and
chief operating officer.
“The combination of the assets of
Endstream and Mainstream is a natural
course for both companies and we look
forward to a smooth transition,” Stone
said, explaining that Mainstream augments
Endstream’s extensive portfolio of voice
termination and origination services.
He added both companies will obtain
substantial synergy in the combination of
networks and supplier base.
Customers will realize the benefit of the
merger in improved wholesale rates and the
increased origination footprint, Stone said.
In addition, Mainstream will further
Endstream’s mission to provide new services
alongside voice termination and origination,
including SMS services.
“Our future is not just in expanding our
termination footprint, but in providing services
to the current and future generation of tele-
communications consumers, which will include
a much broader array of messaging services,”
Levitt said. “Mainstream has strategic assets
that will help further that objective.”
The details of the transaction, which closed
last week, were not disclosed.
Endstream Communications Inc. is a
next-generation carrier providing high-quality,
cost-effective voice telecommunications solu-
tions, including domestic voice termination and
origination services.
