Now that it has Level 3's assets under its belt, CenturyLink has a larger network footprint that will allow it to address not only large global multinational enterprise but also its small to medium-sized business customer base.

By acquiring Level 3, CenturyLink gained a larger on-net building footprint, giving it more options to reach more businesses with its own network facilities. The acquisition of Level 3 will increase its reach by nearly 75 percent to approximately 75,000, including 10,000 buildings in EMEA and Latin America.
