DOJ approves CenturyLink's sale of certain former Level 3 metro network assets

The U.S. Department of Justice approved CenturyLink Inc.'s sale of certain former Level 3 metro network assets in the Boise, Idaho, area to Syringa Networks LLC, a fiber-optic network provider in Boise.

This sale is subject to other governmental approvals, including the approval of the Federal Communications Commission, along with other customary closing conditions, the company said March 13. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

CenturyLink will continue to serve all former Level 3 customers in Boise unless they choose to be served by Syringa Networks following the closing of the sale.

The proposed sale to Syringa does not include or affect the Boise area networks and business assets CenturyLink operated before the Level 3 acquisition as CenturyLink retains those assets.

Last fall, CenturyLink reached an agreement with the DOJ to sell former Level 3 metro fiber network assets in the metro areas of Albuquerque, N.M.; Boise, Idaho; and Tucson, Ariz., in connection with the acquisition of Level 3 Communications Inc.
