What: Shares of regional telecom Cincinnati Bell (NYSE: CBB) are swooning to the tune of 11.9% today, and the downward trajectory seems set to continue.

So what: In last night's fourth-quarter report, Cincinnati Bell disclosed strong sales but disappointing earnings. For 2011, the company expects flat sales and EBITDA income, while free cash flow will almost entirely dry up.

Now what: Cincinnati Bell is moving out of wireline services and into data center operations as fast as it can.
