| Cequel III is an investment and management
firm focused on the development of cable and telecommunications companies.
The firm was established in January 2002 by partners Jerry Kent, Howard Wood,
and Dan Bergstein. Since then, the Cequel III team has been involved with a number of companies,
including ...
- Suddenlink Communications.
Formerly known as Cebridge Connections,
Suddenlink
is among the nation's ten largest broadband cable companies,
serving more than a million customers, primarily in the
South Central United States. Suddenlink maintains a
management contract with Cequel III, relying on the firm for
corporate development services and television programming
contracts.
- Cequel Sites.
Marking the Cequel team's return to the tower sector (see information below,
re: AAT Communications), this company is in the very early, start-up stages
of its development and is actively pursuing opportunities to acquire and
build new towers.
- AAT Communications Corp.
Cequel III assumed management responsibilities for this privately held tower operator
in May 2002. Through a series of strategic accquisitions, new tower construction, and improved
operating efficiencies, the Cequel III team dramatically expanded AAT's portfolio of owned sites and
free cash flow. In April 2006, on behalf of its investors,
Cequel III sold AAT to SBA Corp. for approximately
$1 Billion.
- Broadwing Communications.
In June 2003, Cequel III partnered with the former Corvis Corporation to acquire
Broadwing and its nationwide
all-optical network from Cincinnati Bell. Having since turned over management
responsibilities to Broadwing's executive team,
Cequel III maintains a
strategic relationship with the company for the provision
of longhaul voice, video, and data services to Suddenlink Comunications.
