washington (marketwatch) - - centurytel inc. on monday said it will acquire embarq corp. in a $ 11. 6 billion deal, knitting together two regional local phone companies that cater mostly to customers in less populated parts of the country .
about embarq following its spin - off from sprint nextel, embarq will provide a suite of communications services, consisting of local and long distance voice and data services, including high - speed internet access to consumer, business and wholesale customers. embarq will also provide wireless, entertainment, logistics and other communications - related services and equipment. the company is expected to be a nyse - listed company with approximately $ 6. 3 billion in annual revenues, rank among the fortune 500 and serve as the fifth largest local communications company in the united states based on the company’s 7. 35 million access lines as of december 31, 2005. the company expects to have approximately 20, 000 employees at the time of the spin - off from sprint nextel .

gary d. forsee, sprint nextel president and chief executive officer said ,
the brand that the local business has chosen suits it well. embarq will be an aggressive, dynamic, forward - thinking company with strong assets, product know how and solid leadership .
centurytel and embarq have partly offset their wireline declines by signing up more high - speed internet customers and selling additional data services. yet with overall revenue growth slow to nonexistent, carriers have been forced to constantly cut costs and wring greater efficiency out of their existing operations .
as provia set out on the journey to develop this new door, it expanded into a complete philosophy of creating unrivaled efficiency in home building products. this new way of thinking is called “envision”, and its first creation is embarq – the doorway to innovation and efficiency .
cash flow is especially important to rural phone carriers. they pay big dividends to shareholders and need to continue to generate lots of cash to fund the payouts. centurytel returns a considerable 10% annual dividend yield at its current price and embarq pays a nearly 9% yield .
as embarq began its independent existence, it still had to contend with declining landline customers. after dropping 4 percent in 2005, the company was well on its way to losing another 5. 5 to 7. 5 percent in 2006, much of the erosion due to cable competition. as a result, wall street was far from bullish about embarq' s prospects. to gain traction with customers, and investors, the company began assembling packages of services to defend its customer base and hopefully build upon it. in addition to dsl broadband service, embarq began to resell branded wireless service using excess sprint capacity and satellite television. the company also hoped to tie together technologies. examples of this type of hoped - for innovation included an integrated voice message box that served both wireless and home lines, and a phone that worked on both cellular and wireless - fidelity networks. another factor in embarq' s favor was that it mostly served smaller towns and rural communities, which had been underserved by telecommunications companies and offered less competition. whether a primarily landline company would succeed under contemporary conditions remained to be seen, however .
“as a company, provia has always emphasized energy efficiency and pursued continuous improvements with high energy - performing products, ” says brian miller, president of provia. “with the introduction of embarq and our new envision program, we are strengthening our commitment to leadership in energy efficiency. ”
in may 2006, shares of embarq stock began trading on the new york stock exchange. if it had been a stand - alone company the previous year, it would have generated $ 6. 7 billion in revenues and $ 900 million in net earnings, numbers that would have placed it in the low 300s of the fortune 500. thus, after the close of trading on may 17, embarq gained a place in the standard & poor' s 500 stock index, replacing applied micro circuits corp. , which no longer met the minimum financial requirement to be included .
the following preliminary allocation of the purchase price of embarq is based on centurytel’s preliminary best estimates of the fair value of the currently identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of embarq. the final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of july 1, 2009, the consummation date of the acquisition, and is expected to be completed late in 2009. such final identification and determination of all the intangible assets acquired and the purchase price allocation may be significantly different than that used in this pro forma financial information .
we set out on a journey to develop a new fiberglass entry door and it expanded into a complete philosophy of creating unrivaled efficiency in home building products. we call this new way of thinking envision. the first creation using the envision philosophy is embarq – the doorway to innovation and energy efficiency .
that is a valid point. embarq was historically a rural telephone company, some of the areas they server are no longer rural (las vegas being the prime example), but the majority of the area is still in rural markets. so, the price may be a bit above average for 10 meg, but when you start seeing companies offer these speeds in gun barrel station * texas it has got to be a good thing. * i don' t know whether or not the 10 meg was released in gun barrel station - i used it as an example of a rural town embarq serves
aside from customer acceptance, embarq had to gain approval from regulators in 14 of the 18 states in which it operated. at the time of the naming announcement, the company had received half the necessary approvals. holding up approval in several of the other states were the objections of the communications workers of america .
we were concerned about this spun - off company, whether it would be a viable entity or not ,
union official jimmy gurganis told the kansas city star. hesse then met with the union to outline his plans for growing embarq and was able to reassure them that he had no intention of allowing the ltd to wither on the vine. the two sides reached a labor relations agreement and the union dropped its objections with state regulators, opening the way for the completion of the spinoff. sprint shareholders received one share of embarq stock for every 20 shares of sprint stock they held .
the following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information. all adjustments are based on current assumptions and are subject to change upon completion of the final purchase price allocation based on the identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired from embarq at the merger closing date .
prior to joining embarq, guillermo conducted research on mobility management in large urban centers, focusing specifically on five global cities (amsterdam, curitiba, london, singapore and tokyo). along with a university professor, guillermo has also worked on the development of a fleet management software for small cargo companies .
i don' t see anything claiming this is breakthrough anywhere... . this is a broadband site right? this is broadband news correct? to the people who have embarq and want faster speeds, this is worth writing for them. you have rr, this shouldn' t affect you in any way

while competition in the phone business remains fierce, embarq would be partly shielded by its concentration in second - tier or rural markets that offer a sanctuary of sorts. still, some investors argue that competition will continue to siphon off customers, force the company to scale back dividend payments and ultimately undermine its stock price .
