Commenting on the Windstream deal last month, Philbert Shih, managing director at Structure Research, a market research firm focused on the colocation space, warned that it was too early to assume that telcos getting out of the data center services business was going to continue as a trend.

While more such deals are likely to happen, they have to be looked at on an individual-company basis, he said. “It’s maybe a bit early to tell,” Shih said. “We probably will not see too many of them.”
