Network communications and managed services provider Windstream announced

Many small businesses do not have the specialized staff to support their IT
needs, nor the design team to build and maintain their own websites, Don
Perkins, vice president of business marketing at Windstream, said in a press
statement. With Windstreams Professional Bundle, we help customers
significantly reduce expense and complexity associated with computer repair and
website maintenance. With the Professional Bundle, customers can leverage the
full power of a professionally built and maintained website, while making IT
simple and affordable, so they can focus on operating their businesses.
Other available features include support for mobile Website design and a
OneList Web address submission to more than 40 online directories and GPS
navigation systems including Google, MSN and Yahoo. The company also offers a
host of other services, including audio and Web conferencing, fax-to-email,
credit card processing services and Website hosting. The companys stand-alone
Security Suite, powered by McAfee, starts at $3.99 a month.
Our small business customers typically have at least one thing in common:
Their primary goals are to control expenses and grow their businesses, Perkins
said. Windstreams Business Bundles are designed to give these customers peace
of mind in knowing that they are protected from major out-of-pocket expenses,
they have a predictable monthly billfrom just one service providerand that
they have the data, phone and network solutions that they need to succeed.

and equipment bundle offering, IP Simple Solutions, which combines a business
