Another year – and not just any year – is in the books. December finished 2020 if with the bang, which is reflected in our top 12 stories countdown for the month.

Verizon said it was consolidating its partner program and naming a new channel chief to lead it. Also, there was more master agent consolidation with AppSmart buying MicroCorp and Bridgepoint buying Clover Communications. We took a close look at what both purchases mean to the partner community.

Frontier’s pending emergence from bankruptcy and Apple’s latest product releases cracked our top 12 stories countdown once again.

Those were just a few of the stories making headlines last month.
