MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GTT Communications, Inc. (NYSE: GTT), a leading global cloud networking provider to multinational clients, announced today the completion of the acquisition of One Source Networks (OSN), a provider of global data, Internet, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking and managed services to Fortune 1000 companies. GTT paid $175 million for the acquisition, including approximately $164 million in cash and $11 million in GTT stock, plus approximately $5 million in cash for an estimated working capital surplus as of the closing date.
