Level 3 celebrates $34bn CenturyLink gobble by blacking out Eastern US

Mark 85

Re: Got that backward do you?

The outage comes at a particularly inopportune time for Level 3, which earlier this week officially announced it had agreed to a $34bn acquisition by US telecom giant CenturyLink.

^^^ I think that's what this in the article stated. CenturyLink is buying Level3. Although the previous article (http://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/1/2016/10/31/centurylink_set_to_merge_with_tierone_provider_level_3_for_34bn/) indicates that it's a "merger".

Hmm.... I guess Level3 is just giving their customers a taste of the future with CenturyLink?
