The new CenturyLink wants to build a premier partner program to go along with its renewed focus on serving enterprise customers.
CenturyLink on Wednesday closed its $34 billion acquisition of telecom provider Level 3 Communications. The new company is on a mission to level the playing field with industry heavyweights AT&T and Verizon, and expects to generate about 75 percent of its core revenue from business customers with nearly two-thirds of this revenue coming from strategic services. Channel partners, the provider said, will be crucial in helping CenturyLink reach greater heights.
