In recent years at least i can not remember a single telco m&a which has resulted with better service and product. The question is how fast they can go back to the level of service they were providing prior, because during mergers lots of talent walk away, and often misalignments happen burning people out(depending who is buying who)

Adding couple of 10G ports in EU has taken 4 months .. still waiting. Can start to imagine how support can be ..

As telcos grow bigger with M&As they become slower. How can telcos sustain / install agility as they grow ? Could be interesting study on telco corp culture ....

hi there,

Just a general high-level question about Centurylink/Level3 post-merger, how is your overall experience with CenturyLink? if you could be sitting with the CEO of the company what is one thing you would ask him to fix?

please keep it high level and general. i intend to pass these to him and his team in an upcoming meeting.
