CHICAGO, Feb. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inteliquent(NASDAQ:IQNT – News), a leading provider of global interconnection and interoperability solutions, announces today the formal rebranding of Neutral Tandem and Tinet, as Inteliquent. The company’s shares will start trading under its new name and stock ticker symbol, “IQNT,” effective as of market open today, February 7, 2012.
