Archtop Closes on Hancock Telephone as Part of N.Y. Push

Archtop Fiber closed on its buy of Hancock Telephone, a family-owned telco in New York's Southern Tier region, Archtop said Monday. It said the deal will have it providing telecom services in part of the Southern Tier and northeastern Pennsylvania. The transaction was announced early this year (see 2301050025). The Hancock deal follows Archtop's buy of GTel in New York's Hudson Valley, and Archtop's purchase of Warwick Valley Telephone in New York state is pending regulatory approval.
