OPPORTUNITY MULTIPLIED
We made strategic investments in 2011 that expanded the scale
and scope of our business and multiplied growth opportunities.
We completed the Embarq integration and closed the Qwest
acquisition, creating the third largest telecommunications
company in the country. We enhanced our broadband network
capabilities, expanded our CenturyLink™ Prism™ TV service, built
fiber to thousands of cell tower sites to gain wireless data
transport opportunities, and transformed ourselves into a global
leader in managed hosting and cloud computing services
through our acquisition of Savvis, Inc. Even as we transformed
CenturyLink, our dedicated employees remained focused on
delivering excellent service for our customers. In our 2011 annual
review, we present our business results, integration progress
and financial highlights for the year as well as the strategic
investments we made for the future to build attractive revenue
opportunities and long-term advantage.
In addition to historical information, this Review
includes certain forward-looking statements that are
subject to uncertainties that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from such statements.
Please refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2011, for a description of these and
other uncertainties related to our business.
