ATX Communications could have
become another casualty of the
telecom bust.
>>>In 2000, the company was bought
by CoreComm, which planned to use
ATX as the centerpiece of a national
expansion. Then, CoreComm filed
for bankruptcy.
>>>Its leaders turned to the experienced
managers of ATX to engineer a
turnaround and restore profitability.
Their efforts bore fruit.
>>>“While many of our peers were
unable to survive the burst of the
technology bubble a few years ago,
ATX weathered the communication
industry’s downturn thanks to a
mature and unwavering focus on discipline,
leadership, profitability and
service,” says Bill McFeeley, regional
director for ATX.
>>>In 2006, ATX announced a sale to
Broadview Networks. The combined
business will have 75,000 commercial
customers and $400 million in
annual revenue.

>>>ATX expects the merger to broaden
its reach and enable it to deliver more
customized and competitive solutions.
>>>ATX was founded in 1985 to sell
long-distance services to local businesses.
The company evolved along
with the communications marketplace
and it has become a one-stop
shop for voice, data and Internet
services, including Voice over
Internet Protocol, or VOIP.
>>>“For more than 20 years, ATX has
evolved its products, teams, facilities,
processes and other aspects of
the business to deliver the latest
advancements to small and midsized
businesses, from toll-free calling
and fax services in the 1980s to
network security and VoIP today,”
McFeeley says.
