SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
No single customer, or group of related customers, represented 10 percent or more of our operating revenues in 2015, 2014 or
2013.
SEASONALITY
Our business is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.
NETWORK
As further discussed below under “Material Dispositions”, in April 2015, we completed the spin-off of our fiber and copper
networks and other real estate, into an independent, publicly traded real estate investment trust and entered into an agreement to
leaseback the network assets. Following the spin-off, we exclusively operate a robust, flexible network allowing us to deliver
advanced voice and data services. As of December 31, 2015, our network consists of approximately 125,000 miles of fiber optic
plant in both our fiber backbone and local service areas and a combination of owned and leased facilities in our local markets.
The fiber transport network we operate is fully integrated and allows us to offer a full suite of voice and advanced data services,
including, but not limited to, multi-site networking, dedicated Internet and Ethernet solutions, high-speed Internet and VoIP services.
In certain territories, we serve business customers by leasing last-mile connections from other carriers. These connections link our
business customers to our facilities-based network. In areas in which we operate last-mile facilities, we are able to connect to our
customers directly. Through the last-mile facilities we operate, we are able to offer up to 100 Gbps of Ethernet managed services.
The local networks we operate consist of central office digital switches, routers, loop carriers and virtual and physical colocations
interconnected primarily with fiber and copper facilities. A mix of fiber optic and copper facilities connect our customers with the
core network.
Our network service areas as of December 31, 2015 are detailed in the map below
