February — a month for love, groundhogs, honoring our presidents and much more.

In the channel, February was chock full of big happenings and things that, well, didn’t happen. Take Windstream’s new enterprise and wholesale brands, for instance — the company almost rebranded entirely, but didn’t.

Speaking of branding, you’ll find two stories on our list from the BridgePointe Technologies event in San Francisco, but neither directly related to the master agent. First, UC vendors had a lively discussion on whether Microsoft, Slack and others are a threat to their businesses. Then, CenturyLink co-channel chief John DeLozier felt the need to put rumors about the Level 3 integration to rest.

If you don’t telecommute and your company has a water cooler, these no doubt were conversation starters in your business’ kitchenette. Which was No. 1? Click through our gallery below to find out!
