Time Warner Telecom delivers data, internet and voice solutions to Inoveris
MUMBAI: Time Warner Telecom Inc. has installed a full suite of voice and data communications services for Inoveris, LLC of Dublin, Ohio. The product-to-market solutions provider is using these services to support mission-critical software applications, operational efficiency initiatives and business growth.
“These new services allow us to streamline our business internally so that we can support more business and enhance employee productivity,” says Inoveris director for Dublin, Roy Gilliam. “By turning up high-capacity metro Ethernet and centralizing our production data center into a resilient collocation facility, we are able to integrate our workflow infrastructure so our three locations — Ohio, Utah and Canada — work together as one. This gives us the 24 by 7 availability our operations require.”
Time Warner Telecom is delivering a wide range of services to Inoveris to support its nationwide communications network. These services include 10 Mbps of Ethernet Internet service capability and 100 Mbps metro Ethernet connecting the Columbus collocation site and the Dublin-based headquarters. Local and long distance voice services as well as long-haul DS-1 and Internet connectivity to Inoveris in Orem, Utah, are also provided by Time Warner Telecom, states an official release.
“We rely heavily on our extranet to communicate with and process manufacturing and distribution orders from our customers,” says Inoveris network manager Jonathan O’Connor. “From a revenue and reputation standpoint, we simply had to go with a provider that met our high uptime criteria. The customer service we’ve received from Time Warner Telecom far exceeds any we’ve seen from other providers and that played a key role in our decision.”
“Infrastructure consolidation has become a strategy for businesses to cut costs, increase efficiencies and improve employee productivity,” says Time Warner Telecom VP and GM for Columbus, Brad Thien. “Our end-to-end solutions offer the voice, data and collocation services that make these goals possible. Our highly reliable fiber-based services are particularly important to businesses like Inoveris, where downtime of any kind can affect their efficiencies.”

Senior media executive Madhu Soman exits Zee Media
Former Reuters and Bloomberg leader says he leaves with “no regrets” after brief stint at WION and Zee Business
NOIDA: Madhu Soman, a veteran of global newsrooms and media sales floors, has stepped away from Zee Media Corporation after a short stint steering business strategy for WION and Zee Business.
In a reflective LinkedIn note marking his departure, Soman said his time within the network’s corridors was always likely to be brief. “Some chapters close faster than expected,” he wrote, signalling the end of a nearly two-year spell in which he oversaw both editorial partnerships and commercial strategy.
Soman joined Zee Media in 2022 after more than a decade abroad with Reuters and Bloomberg, returning to India to take on the role of chief business officer for WION and Zee Business. His mandate was ambitious: bridge the newsroom and the revenue desk while expanding digital and broadcast reach.
During the stint, Zee Business reached break-even for the first time since its launch in 2005, while WION refreshed programming and strengthened its digital footprint across platforms such as YouTube and Facebook.
But Soman suggested the cultural fit proved uneasy. Describing himself as a “cultural misfit”, he hinted at deeper tensions between editorial instincts shaped in global newsrooms and the realities of India’s television news ecosystem.
Before joining Zee, Soman spent more than seven years at Bloomberg in Hong Kong as head of broadcast sales for Asia-Pacific, expanding the company’s news syndication business across several markets. Earlier, he held senior editorial roles at Reuters, overseeing online strategy in India and managing Reuters Video Services from London.
His career began in television and wire reporting, including a stint with ANI during the 1999 Kargil conflict, before moving into digital publishing as India’s internet media landscape took shape.
Now, after nearly three decades in broadcast and digital media, Soman is leaving Delhi NCR and returning to his hometown, Trivandrum.
Exhausted, he admits. But unbowed. And with one quiet line that sums up the journey: he didn’t sell his soul — because some things, after all, are not for sale.
