looks like MSFT may be pulling back on data centers, Lumens cash cow may be going bye bye. Start selling off the pieces while you can Kate.

Millimeter waves require line of sight and have a short range. Also have difficulty with trees, weather, buildings, hills etc. The basic tech of repeaters on every building has been around for 30 plus years. The mmWave signal can only go a couple thousand feet in perfect line of sight on a clear day on its own. Not to say that someday there won’t be a tower every 1.5 miles or on a building every block in a city, but for now it uses a fiber backbone to transmit data over greater distances. Easily verifiable information.
“ WRONG again. You not making it to any CTO level.”
lol, Mo--n!
The mmWave frequency will require 4 times as many cell sites due to terrain obstructions.

WRONG again. You not making it to any CTO level that's for sure.
“ Fiber is also a dying thing, why don't you tech folks talk about mmWave?”
If you don’t know you are on a company layoff site. Where people come to talk layoffs or rumors, not talk tech conspiracies or stock or what the next big thing will be. So go back to your google search for “lumen” and disregard anything relating to this page. A suggestion would be yahoo forums. They would love you over there. Or….did you get booted off that
The mmWave frequency will require 4 times as many cell sites due to terrain obstructions. So yea, it uses that “dying” fiber to transmit data over longer distances between cell sites.
Every week this WiFi shill comes in here after reading a headline trying to convince people fiber is dead and wifi will rule the world. Maybe in 100 years you will be correct.
"Fiber is also a dying thing, why don't you tech folks talk about mmWave?"
Fiber a dying thing? I have a question for that poster, what color is the sky in your world?
I see more and more customers going fiber all the time. As far as mmWave. I've heard of it, its using frequencies in he 100Ghz range but it has limitations.

"Market chatter going around that "Exaswitch" is "The Holy Grail" replacing data centers today."
Exaswitch is nothing more than fancy asic, to be replaced by something better very soon. Exaswitch relies on fiber, and fiber biz is in rapid decline in terms of revenue.

Let history be Lumen's Guide:

She talks about the current MSFT CEO like he's a God. She was fired, eh? Kate does get around though, doesn't she?
Market chatter going around that "Exaswitch" is "The Holy Grail" replacing data centers today.
Kate probably does know a Microsoft thing or two about those things.
Kate Johnson
The president of Microsoft’s U.S. business, Kate Johnson recently disclosed plans to depart after four years with the company. In a post on LinkedIn, Johnson wrote that she will “be leaving Microsoft after I help the new MSUS president kickoff FY22.” Her successor is Deb Cupp, who began as president of Microsoft U.S. this month. Cupp was formerly the corporate vice president of enterprise and commercial industries at Microsoft. The company’s fiscal year 2022 began July 1.
Kate was fired from MSFT. Other than her pals she brought with her, why do you think she has some inside track there?
Fu-k off non-employees. Go back to Yahoo.
That's too bad they didn't allow the "risk factor" pasting that was intended to be here where she/they--Oh my, DEI pronouns which Kate supports--included the fact that the current contract revenue streams--$8.5B still shy of 3.5B originally touted--may be curtailed or eliminated entirely if AI turns out to be a bo-b or in case of ongoing contracts, if Lumen misses any of the benchmarks for "timely" construction and every other potential slow down problem written under the sun(weather).
Wrong, new deal with Ciena will be a cash cow for us.
i believe the company they are referring to is Level 3 - In 1985, Peter Kiewit Sons' Inc created a subsidiary named Kiewit Diversified Group to manage the corporation's business that was not related to construction. The division was spun off as a separate entity and changed its name to Level 3 Communications in 1998 to signify an increased focus on communication services.
“The Company has been cursed since the day it was hatched by Buffett, Gates, Scott and Crowe ~ 27 years ago so that everything that could possibly go wrong ends up going wrong and the AI hype and hoopla seems to be NO DIFFERENT!”
If this isn’t just a bot it’s a human mo--n. What company was hatched 27 years ago bot?
Kate's always ahead of the game with her Microsoft Insider Connections that made her include today's news as risk factors in Lumen's 10K released last week.
This is from a woman now has a cost basis of less than 11 cents each with > 9MM shares considering that ~90 percent of them were "FREE" on the backs of shareholders' printing press in spite of her buying ~1MM shares for ~$1MM of her own money.
It's good to be an insider knowing everything MSFT thinks and is doing before everyone else knows their strategy.
