Suffering from financial losses stemming from a stalled WiFi strategy, a failed stake in a mobile virtual network operator, and an inability to expand its broadband subscriber base, EarthLink is left with few viable options for growth. In order to maintain any amount of business sustainability, the company has been forced to trim costs and focus on retaining its remaining customer base. In this analysis, we examine EarthLink’s recent operational performance and its future strategic options, with an emphasis on its potential in the commercial services arena. Four charts and tables are included.
