[Ryan Fish]

Here is the official announcement we received:

 

"ITC^DeltaCom, Inc., a leading provider of integrated communications
services to customers in the southeastern United States, today announced
that it has entered into an agreement with members of the Quality Group of
Companies (Quality) to sell ITC^DeltaCom's e^deltacom business, including
e^deltacom's data center facility in Suwanee, Georgia.

e^deltacom provides managed colocation, hosting, security, data storage,
monitoring and networking services and hardware solutions. Quality is a
full- service developer and provider of specialized commercial and
governmental facilities. Proceeds from the sale of e^deltacom totaling
approximately $25.8 million, before adjustments and transaction costs, will
be used by ITC^DeltaCom for general corporate purposes.

"The sale of e^deltacom represents a continuation of our strategy to focus
on our core competencies and to strengthen our balance sheet," said
ITC^DeltaCom CEO Randall E. Curran. "We look forward to partnering with
Quality as we establish a relationship that ensures that both companies
continue to provide outstanding service to their respective customers."

Under the terms of the transaction, ITC^DeltaCom will continue to provide
telecommunications services to e^deltacom and Quality. The sale is subject
to customary closing conditions, including consents of third parties, and is
expected to close by the end of the third quarter.

Miller Buckfire & Co., LLC acted as the Company's financial advisor on this
transaction.

operating subsidiaries, integrated telecommunications and technology
services to businesses and consumers in the southeastern United States.

It is beyond "about to be", they have been sold and at least two of our 
account contacts have been let go/replaced by the new company.  So far, so
good although we don't tend to bother them too much for anything...

Thanks for letting me know that they are about to be sold.  That's
