Reply Comments/Oppositions to Petitions Due: February 7, 2017

        CenturyLink, Inc. (CenturyLink) and Level 3 Communications, Inc. (Level 3) (together,
Applicants) filed a series of applications, pursuant to sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended,1 and the Cable Landing License Act of 1921,2 seeking approval to transfer control
to CenturyLink of various licenses and authorizations held by operating subsidiaries of Level 3
(Transaction).3 Applicants filed a supplement to their application on December 19, 2016. 4 Pursuant to
this Transaction, if approved, CenturyLink will acquire control of Level 3 and indirect control of Level
3’s operating subsidiaries.5

         Level 3 is a publicly-traded Delaware corporation headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado.6
Level 3, through its operating subsidiaries, provides primarily fiber-based communications services such
as Internet backbone, broadband transport, collocation, voice, and IP-based services in all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and internationally in South America,

 Applicants state that, in addition to domestic and international section 214 authorizations, the Level 3 subsidiaries
hold 30 satellite earth station authorizations, three wireless licenses, and seven cable landing licenses. See Lead
Application at 2 & Exh. D.

    The applicable Level 3 operating subsidiaries are identified in Lead Application, Exh. A.

    Lead Application at 3, 6.


Europe, and Asia.7 Applicants state that Level 3’s fiber assets include a “global telecommunications
network of more than 209,000 owned or controlled route miles of fiber, including approximately 129,000
route miles of fiber in the North America region, 47,000 route miles in the LATAM (Latin America) and
EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) regions, and 33,000 subsea route miles.”8 Applicants further
state that Level 3 serves no residential customers, but focuses on serving businesses, primarily large
enterprise customers.9

         CenturyLink is a publicly-traded communications company incorporated in Louisiana and
headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana.10 CenturyLink, through its operating subsidiaries, provides
communications services including voice, wholesale local network access, high-speed Internet access,
data transmission, security monitoring, and information, entertainment, and transport services through its
copper and fiber networks in the United States.11 CenturyLink also provides wholesale and retail fiber-
based transport services, database services on a wholesale basis, and wholesale access to its network to
other carriers, cable companies, Internet service providers, and resellers.12 CenturyLink provides
consumer and enterprise services as an incumbent local exchange carrier (LEC) in all or portions of 37
states, and it provides enterprise services as a competitive LEC throughout the country.13 CenturyLink
represents that, as of December 31, 2015, it provided high-speed Internet access to over six million
customers and had approximately 11.7 million access lines.14

         Pursuant to an October 31, 2016 Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement), Applicants
will enter into a series of concurrent internal merger transactions with CenturyLink entities created for the
purpose of facilitating this Transaction that will result in Level 3 and its operating subsidiaries becoming
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of CenturyLink.15 Applicants state that the Transaction is subject to

7
  Lead Application at 3 & Exh. B, Public Interest Statement at B-2 (Public Interest Statement). According to
Applicants, Level 3 serves customer locations via its own fiber facilities where possible, but Level 3’s fiber facilities
do not reach the majority of the customer locations it serves. Where this is the case, Level 3 serves the customer
locations via end user connections leased from another carrier. Id.
8
 Dec. 19, 2016 Supplement at 2 (footnotes omitted). According to Applicants, of the “209,000 route miles of fiber
owned or controlled today by Level 3 in the North America region, approximately 70,000 are long-haul fiber and
59,200 are metro fiber.” Id. In addition, Applicants represent that all of Level 3’s route miles are lit (not dark) fiber.

Regions. Applicants further state that CenturyLink has a competitive LEC subsidiary that provides “interstate
services and intrastate toll services” in CenturyLink’s incumbent LEC territory, but it does not provide traditional
incumbent LEC services such as TDM-based local voice services or TDM-based special or switched access services.
Dec. 19, 2016 Supplement at 2-3 n.9. According to Applicants, CenturyLink serves enterprise customers both
within and outside of its incumbent LEC territory, although its fiber-based footprint for high-capacity services such
as Ethernet is limited relative to that of its largest competitors, especially outside of its incumbent LEC territory.
Public Interest Statement at B-1.

     Lead Application at 3-4.
15
  Id. at 4-6. Applicants state that pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Level 3 common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, other than shares held by holders who properly exercise appraisal rights, will be
converted into the right to receive $26.50 in cash, without interest, and 1.4286 shares of CenturyLink common
                                                                                                        (continued…)

certain closing conditions, including Commission approval.16 CenturyLink represents that, upon
consummation of the Transaction, no single entity will hold a direct or indirect ownership interest of ten
percent or greater in CenturyLink.17

         CenturyLink certifies that it currently is affiliated with foreign carriers in 14 countries and, as a
result of the Transaction, will become affiliated with foreign carriers in 35 additional countries.18
Applicants state that none of their foreign carrier affiliates is presumed by the Commission to hold market
power in a foreign telecommunications market and that their foreign carrier affiliates offer services in
competition with dominant foreign carriers and others.19 CenturyLink thus states that it qualifies for a
presumption of non-dominance under Section 63.10(a)(l) and (3) of the Commission’s rules because it is
not a foreign carrier and will be affiliated only with non-dominant foreign carriers in countries that, other
than Serbia, are members of the World Trade Organization (WTO).20

         Applicants assert that the Transaction is in the public interest because it will promote competition
and not result in any countervailing harms.21 Specifically, Applicants claim that the Transaction will
bolster competition for enterprise services (especially for multi-location and multi-national customers)
through: (1) enabling Applicants to combine their complementary networks to offer enterprise customers
a broader range of on-net services and solutions than they currently can obtain from the Applicants
individually;22 (2) improving the combined company’s ability to mount a stronger challenge in the
enterprise services market against larger and better capitalized competitors with greater reach;23 (3)

stock, par value $1.00 per share (the CenturyLink Common Stock). According to Applicants, the Transaction is
subject to (1) the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Level 3, and (2) the
approval by the shareholders of CenturyLink of the issuance of the CenturyLink Common Stock contemplated by
the Merger Agreement. Id.
16
  Id. at 5. Applicants also state that in connection with this Transaction, they will be making filings or notifications
with the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act, state public utility commissions, and local governments and municipalities as may be required.
Id. at 15. Applicants also represent that they are consulting with the Team Telecom agencies with respect to Level
3’s existing network security agreement. Id.
17
     Id. at 8.
18
  Id. at 8-9 & Exh. E. Exhibit E of the Lead Application identifies certain foreign carriers affiliated with Savvis
Communications Corporation and Savvis, Inc. (together, the Savvis Entities). According to Applicants, on
November 3, 2016, CenturyLink entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Savvis Entities (the Savvis
Transaction). Id. at 9 n.1. Applicants represent that the Savvis Transaction is unrelated to this Transaction and will
be subject to its own regulatory approval process. Id. Applicants state that, to the extent the regulatory approvals
required for the Savvis Transaction are obtained and the Savvis Transaction is consummated prior to the
Commission’s approval of this Transaction, certain foreign carriers affiliated with the Savvis entities identified in
Exhibit E will no longer be relevant to this Application, as they will no longer be foreign carrier affiliates of
CenturyLink. Id.
19
  Lead Application at 10. Applicants also certify that they have not agreed to accept any direct or indirect special
concessions from a foreign carrier or administration with respect to any U.S. international route where the foreign
carrier possesses market power on the foreign end of the route and will not enter into such agreements in the future.

reducing both Applicants’ dependence on leased facilities;24 and (4) improving the combined company’s
financial profile and ability to invest and compete for enterprise customers as a result of annual run rate
synergies,25 greater purchasing power from vendors, access to the latest network technologies, and its
greater technical expertise.26 Applicants characterize the enterprise services that each Applicant brings to
the new combined company as complementary and having minimal overlap given: (1) Level 3’s Ethernet
footprint internationally (where CenturyLink does not provide service) and domestically in areas outside
of CenturyLink’s incumbent LEC footprint; and (2) the degree of Level 3’s use of leased facilities where
it overlaps CenturyLink’s fiber connectivity to buildings inside CenturyLink’s incumbent LEC
footprint.27 Finally, Applicants state that the Transaction will help them realize the customer-facing
benefits of owning more fiber rather than leasing it from other providers.28

        Applicants claim that the Transaction will not cause any countervailing harms to consumers or
competition because the combined company will face significant competition in each of the markets they
anticipate the Commission will evaluate.29 Applicants further claim that they have only a limited degree
of overlap in any of these markets.30 Specifically, Applicants state that the Internet backbone market is
marked by “significant competition”;31 and while Level 3 has a large Internet backbone, CenturyLink’s
interconnection backbone is “substantially smaller”32 such that their combination “will have little impact

24
     Id. at B-5.
25
  Id. at B-13–B-14. Applicants state that the combined company “will have approximately $19 billion in pro forma
business revenue and $13 billion in business strategic revenue for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2016.”
Public Interest Statement at B-13. Applicants estimate that 76 percent of the combined company’s revenue will be
derived from business customers, and 65 percent of the combined company’s core revenue will be from strategic
services. Id. at B-14. Applicants estimate that the “increased scale afforded by the combined company is expected
to generate about $975 million of annual run-rate cash synergies, primarily from the elimination of duplicative
functions, systems integration, and increased operational and capital efficiencies. The Commission recently
recognized the public interest benefits of merger-specific efficiency gains.” Id. (citing Applications of XO Holdings
and Verizon Communications Inc. for Consent to Transfer Control of Licenses and Authorizations, Memorandum
Opinion and Order, DA 16-1281, WC Docket No. 16-70, at para. 51 (Nov. 16, 2016) (Verizon-XO Order)).
26
     Public Interest Statement at B-1–B-2.
27
  Id. at B-15–20. CenturyLink states that even within its incumbent LEC footprint, it still relies on “a broad range
of DSn connections” and “has not been as successful in selling Ethernet services as many of its competitors.” Public
Interest Statement at B-6–B7. Applicants cite to the 2016 Ethernet leaderboard produced by the Vertical Systems
Group, showing that CenturyLink ranks fifth among Ethernet providers in total retail port sales. Id. at B-7 n.4.
28
     Public Interest Statement at B-6 (citing to the Commission’s conclusions in the Verizon-XO Order).
29
   Because Level 3 has no mass-market consumer customers, Applicants suggest that the Commission’s evaluation
of the Transaction is likely to focus on competitive effects in the following markets: (1) Internet backbone
transmission services (i.e., IP transit); (2) international transport services (including submarine cable facilities and
the capacity needed to provide those services); (3) long-haul services (including inter-city fiber needed to provide
those services); and (4) retail and wholesale enterprise services (also known as business data services (BDS) and
including facilities needed to provide those services, e.g., connections to buildings and fiber transport facilities
deployed near to buildings). Public Interest Statement at. B-14–B15 & n.20 (and cases cited therein).
30
     Public Interest Statement at B-15.
31
   Id. at B-16 (“The Commission recently found that ‘transit prices have fallen by more than 90 percent in the last
five years alone,’ which demonstrates that the market for transit services remains quite healthy.”) (footnote omitted)
(citing Verizon-XO Order at para. 44 & n.156).
32
  Id. at B-16. Applicants state that, according to the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (‘CAIDA’),
“CenturyLink’s global IP network ranks seventeenth place, while it does not make Dyn’s ‘Baker’s Dozen’ list of the
top thirteen global IP transit providers at all (and it has not since the 2012 edition of that report).” Id. at B-16–B17
                                                                                                              (continued…)

on the overall level of competition for IP transit services.”33 Similarly, Applicants claim that the
international transport services market will remain “highly competitive” post-Transaction because the
Transaction will not lead to any meaningful concentration of facilities-based providers in the submarine
cable market.34 With respect to the market for long-haul transport services, Applicants assert that of the
overlapping long-haul fiber routes owned and controlled by either CenturyLink or Level 3, every
overlapping CenturyLink-Level 3 route will face competition after the consummation of the
Transaction.35 Finally, Applicants claim that the Transaction will not meaningfully diminish competition
for the delivery of retail and wholesale BDS based on their competitive analysis, pursuant to which they
have “tentatively conclude[d]” that there are only ninety buildings that will go from having two fiber
providers to one (2:1 buildings) within CenturyLink’s incumbent LEC region and ten 2:1 buildings
outside of CenturyLink’s incumbent LEC region where there is not a competitive provider within 0.1
miles.36

        Applicants represent that the Transaction will not affect existing customer contractual obligations,
as those obligations will continue in effect after the Transaction closes.37 Applicants further assert that
there will be no impact on residential consumers as Level 3 does not serve residential consumers and that
nothing about the Transaction is expected to negatively affect CenturyLink’s consumer segment
operations.38

(Continued from previous page)
(footnotes omitted). Meanwhile, Level 3’s global IP network and IP transport business are both ranked first by
CAIDA and Dyn’s “Baker’s Dozen” list. Dec. 19, 2016 Supplement at 2.
33
     Public Interest Statement at B-17.
34
  Id. at B-17. Through its operating subsidiaries, Level 3 holds an interest in the following submarine cable routes:
Americas-II, Atlantic Crossing-1, Mid-Atlantic Crossing, Pan American Crossing, South American Crossing,
Yellow, and Hawaiian Islands Fiber Network submarine cables. CenturyLink holds a partial ownership interest in
just one submarine cable route (which connects the U.S. and Japan) and otherwise leases all of its submarine
capacity from other entities. Id. Applicants further state that CenturyLink’s ownership interest in that single
submarine cable is less than five percent (and the interest held by Level 3 is even smaller), “meaning that the ability
of the combined company to influence the operation of that cable will be limited.” Id.
35
  Id. at B-18. Applicants explain that using publicly available data, their competitive analysis showed that all but
three of the overlapping CenturyLink-Level 3 long-haul fiber routes are served by one or more of AT&T, Comcast,
and/or Verizon, and that the three “relatively short routes” that remain—Boise, ID, to Portland, OR; Jackson to
Seminary, MS; and Birmingham to Montgomery, AL—are served by at least one other fiber competitor. Id.; see
also Dec. 19, 2016 Supplement at 4.
36
  See Public Interest Statement at B-18-19 and Dec. 19, 2016 Supplement at 3-4 for a detailed description of
Applicants’ tentative competitive analysis, including underlying assumptions and methodology. Applicants
represent that they are conducting physical inspections to confirm their analysis. Public Interest Statement at B-19.
Applicants assert the vast majority of the overlapping in-region buildings are located in five metropolitan statistical
areas: Albuquerque, NM; Boise City, ID; Colorado Springs, CO; Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO; and Minneapolis-
St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI., and suggest that further analysis may result in a decrease in the final number of 2:1
buildings that lack nearby competitors. Id.
37
  Id. at B-4 (“Specifically, the Transaction will not alter the rates, terms, and conditions of service under customers’
current contracts. The Applicants also will continue to abide by their ongoing obligations under existing
interconnection agreements, as well as under applicable law, including, for example, those set forth in Sections 251
and 252 of the Communications Act.” Id. at B-20.).
38
  Id. at B-4. Applicants claim that the Transaction will have no effect on CenturyLink’s regulatory obligations
toward residential subscribers or on any pending commitments or obligations CenturyLink may have in connection
with those subscribers, such as rural broadband deployment obligations associated with the Connect America Fund.

AUTHORIZATIONS TO BE ASSIGNED

         The applications for consent to the transfer of control of the international section 214
authorizations from Level 3’s operating subsidiaries to CenturyLink have been assigned the file numbers
listed in Exhibit A.39 In addition, Applicants filed to transfer control of the domestic section 214
authorizations listed in Exhibit A.40 The applications for consent to the transfer of control of certain
ancillary wireless licenses under section 310(d) have been assigned the file numbers listed in Exhibit A
hereto. In addition, the applications for consent to the transfer of control of certain cable landing licenses
and satellite earth station authorizations have been assigned the file numbers listed in Exhibit A hereto.

Request for Approval of Additional Authorizations and Exemption from Cut-Off Rules

         Applicants have requested that the Commission’s grant of consent to the transfer of control of the
licenses and other authorizations held by Level 3’s operating subsidiaries also include the authority for
CenturyLink to acquire control of (1) any licenses and other authorizations issued to Level 3 or any of its
subsidiaries during the Commission’s consideration of the applications and the period required for the
consummation of the proposed Transaction; (2) any construction permits held by Level 3’s operating
subsidiaries that mature into licenses after closing, and (3) applications filed by Level 3 or its subsidiaries
that are pending at the time of consummation of the Transaction.41 The Applicants also request a blanket
exemption from any applicable cut-off rules in cases where CenturyLink files amendments to pending
applications to reflect consummation of the Transaction.42 The Applicants state that they request this
exemption so that amendments to pending CenturyLink applications to report the change in ultimate
ownership of these licenses will not be treated as major amendments.43
