Eschelon Telecom was an American telecommunications service provider based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1] It operated in the states of Minnesota, Colorado, California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Utah and Montana.

Eschelon was founded in 1996 by its chairman, Cliff Williams, as Advanced Telecommunications, Inc., a holding company for telecommunications businesses. In April 2000, these businesses were unified under the single name of Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

In March 2007, Integra Telecom signed a definitive agreement to purchase Eschelon for $710 million in cash and debt repayment.[2][1]
