Rocom parent company AT Communications (ATC) revealed in November that it was in talks to sell one of its subsidiaries, widely believed to be Rocom. ATC announced last week that further enquiries had been received and "significant progress" had been made on a possible deal. Scott Dobson, managing director of distributor Vcomm, told CRN uncertainty about Rocom's future could fuel "fear and doubt" among customers and suppliers. "They need to sort something out or say that they are no longer considering it," he said.
