Windstream WIN
announced today that the General Services Administration (GSA) of the U.S.
Federal Government has awarded it a contract to provide voice, Internet and

60,000 federal employees based in over 400 GSA-owned buildings, properties,

local services acquisition (LSA) contract adds another region to Windstream's
growing portfolio of LSAs, which also includes Region 1 (Northeast), Region 2
(New York and New Jersey), Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic) Region 4 (Southeast),
