CenturyTel (NYSE: CTL) will change its name to CenturyLink once it closes its acquisition of Embarq (NYSE: EQ).
The company unveiled its new logo today as well as the new name.
In a statement, CenturyTel CEO Glen Post said the new name reflected “a company that is forward-looking and committed to linking the country together.”
The company recently won all the state regulatory approval it needed to acquire Embarq and now awaits an okay from federal regulators.
I think this aquisition is fantastic.
They are both outstanding company’s.
So does this mean my DSL service is going to get worse? It’s bad enough with Centurytel at times and I’ve heard many stories about embarq.
