TW Telecom Sees Some Weakness

TW Telecom hasn't yet reported its quarterly results, but has warned that although it continues to experience strong sales, it has experienced pressure on its revenue growth in the first half of the year, caused by disconnects by customers in the mortgage industry and from very small customers, as well as economy-related pressure in its Midwest region. 

"These pressures continue," the company says. TW Telecom says it also is seeing potential extension of the impact of the slowing economy into its Southeast region and certain individual markets in other regions, based on results to date for the quarter. 

In addition, the company warns it may experience an increase in very small business customer churn in the third quarter due to the  disconnecting non-paying customers.

TW Telecom  expects continued long term revenue growth, but with possible further downward pressure in the near term.
