Gartner named some of the top WAN companies in the channel. Lumen reported some big losses, but put a positive spin on the story. And you’re still interested in a pair of big names either out of, or almost out of, bankruptcy protection.

Those are just three of the stories in our top 12 countdown for February. As is our custom, you choose what appears here. The “vote” comes via online page views and popularity in our weekly newsletters. If you want a say, peruse the website a little more or sign up for our newsletter.

OK, so what else is here? I don’t want to give away too much, but I will tell you that an Intelisys partner achieved a huge milestone. Also, our top 12 stories include news about a new channel chief at a major carrier. OK, that’s all you’re getting out of me in this intro.

Which of those stories was No. 1? Or was it something else entirely? Click through our gallery below to find out. January’s top 12 stories are here, just in case you want to catch up.
