CenturyLink Inc. closed the sale of certain former Level 3 metro network assets in the Albuquerque, N.M., area to Unite Private Networks LLC for an undisclosed sum.
The sale is in connection with a previously announced agreement CenturyLink entered into with the U.S. Department of Justice to sell former Level 3 metro fiber network assets in the metro areas of Albuquerque; Boise, Idaho; and Tucson, Ariz., in connection with the acquisition of Level 3 Communications Inc.
CenturyLink said June 1 that it will continue to serve all former Level 3 customers in Albuquerque unless they choose to be served by Unite Private Networks.
The sale to Unite Private Networks does not include or affect the Albuquerque area networks and business assets CenturyLink operated before the Level 3 acquisition. CenturyLink retains those assets and will continue to provide telecommunications services to residential and business customers in Albuquerque.
