 Industry Spotlight: Pilot CEO Joe Fasone Takes On Business     Fiber   (Telecom Ramblings)

"But we've actually seen it the most prominently in Philadelphia, where we get a lot of demand coming from outside of downtown. It’s a bit of a reverse commuter situation where we're seeing office parks immediately outside of Philadelphia with greater demand for some of the connectivity than the traditional high-rise office buildings downtown. And we're pretty quick to cater to that demand because we have the ability optically to extend our reach to those places with ease."

Hardly the end of the world for this huge, highly profitable giant which would probably continue producing large cash flows for 50 years while doing nothing. But these results may raise more questions about the pace of its cloud transition, at a time when its reporting is becoming less transparent. But in the meantime, Larry can rest easy. Though it may explain the "temporary" departure of Thomas Kurian.

That's what it will come down to, unless some type of deal is reached this week. The UK has some arcane M&A rules. Not sure what purpose they serve.
