Content Delivery Network

The Company’s Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) offers broadband content services which enable the delivery of high-quality video and other rich media securely and efficiently at a very large scale.

The current and historical operations, including estimated losses upon disposition, of these disposal groups are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For a period of time, the Company will continue to generate cash flows and will report income statement activity in discontinued operations that are associated with these disposal groups. The activities that will give rise to these impacts are transitional in nature and generally result from agreements that ensure and facilitate the orderly transfer of business operations. The nature, magnitude and duration of the agreements will vary depending on the specific circumstances of the service, location and/or business need. The agreements can include the following: logistics, customer service, support of financial processes, procurement, human resources, facilities management, data collection and information services. Existing agreements extend for periods less than 12 months.
