Grande in Play


Grande Communications appears to be in play. Its board of directors has authorized management to "explore strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value." That's a "for sale" sign posted by one of the largest "overbuilders" in the U.S. market.

Grande has retained Waller Capital to assist the board and management in exploring strategic alternatives.

Grande is in the process of building a deep-fiber broadband network to homes and businesses in portions of Austin, Corpus Christi, suburban northwest Dallas, Midland, Odessa, San Antonio, San Marcos and Waco. The San Marcos-based company offers high-speed Internet, local and long-distance telephone and digital cable.
