Does this include Hoover, Al Data Center?
@WVEVb0b-bdp Think of a colocation as a landlord/ tenant relationship. In this case, the landlord owns the data centers and offers space to tenants, data center space where their servers and other core infrastructure equipment can reside. The landlord can attract all kinds of different tenants, all of whom pay monthly rent to use the space. It's a similar model to that of cell tower owners, who offer coolocation to as many other carriers as they can get on their tower for monthly recurring fees $$. So with regard to this story, T is no longer the landlord for these data centers they sold. They are now a tenant. The large chunk of cash right now (1.1B) is more important to them than staying in that business.
which att groups will be affected by this sale?
what is colocate?
