WOW! Business is now offering its voice, data and cloud services to businesses in Annapolis and other communities in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Starting this month, WOW! Business said it was serving up its commercial services to thousands of businesses in Annapolis, Pasadena, Millersville and other parts of the county closest to its 200-plus mile coaxial and fiber-optic network.
WOW! has entered the Maryland market through its majority stake in Broadstripe, which is a Millersville-based cable operator that had been serving the local residential market for more than 20 years but filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy several years ago. WOW! Business will become the operator of business services in the market while Broadstripe will continue to serve the residential subscribers.
“The ongoing commitment to economic development and businesses in Anne Arundel County is phenomenal, from family-owned small businesses to large corporations, and presents WOW! Business with an ideal market opportunity in a key strategic state for us,” said Brad Cheedle, senior vice president of WOW! Business. “We’re excited about entering the Maryland market and look forward to offering SMB, enterprise, telecommunication carriers, and government customers a variety of communications and cloud services delivered over our local fiber and cable networks, backed by local customer support.”
With the addition of Anne Arundel County, WOW! Business now serves 19 markets in 11 states, including Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Tampa and other major cities.
