This is the time of year we get all weepy and sentimental, looking back at the moments that made us happy, sad, angry – you name the emotion – in the past 12 months.

And what a year it’s been in the telecom-IT channel. Windstream surprised us by naming two new channel chiefs in 2017. Avaya filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, then emerged earlier this month in what the company says is a very strong position. TelePacific rebranded, after some key acquisitions, to TPx, reflecting its nationwide presence.

But that’s far from all. CenturyLink battled allegations of fraud and legacy services, particularly at AT&T, continued their path to the telecom graveyard.

Those are only a handful of stories that made our list of the top 12 in 2017, which we tallied through a review of online page views and weekly newsletter results.

Scroll through our gallery below to see what was No. 1!
