  • Expanding Enterprise MarginsAnnual Interconnect Cost Reductions Greater than 10%

    2Q19 annualized run-rate of almost $1.2 billion in interconnection expenses; annualized decline of over 10%

    Legacy TDM represents almost $700 million of annualized expenses and last mile TDM access is falling by more than 25% a year

    Cost improvements from migrating customer from other carrier networks to on-net fiber solutions and continued network grooming efforts to contract our legacy TDM network access costs

    Increasing leverage of access-agnostic technologies such as SD-WAN and UCaaS
