I currently work on the enterprise sales side. From what I heard on the global call after the email fiasco is this:
Residential and Small business will remain CenturyLink. Basically the copper side of the business.
Mid size and enterprise fiber network will be rebranded to “Quantum Fiber”
What CTL leadership has been calling “White Space” - things like IT services, network security, SaaS offering... etc. will be rebranded as “Lumen”.
The overall corporate branding as a whole like badges on corporate buildings and such will be Lumen but there is a very Clear separation of the different units. In my opinion it’s for the purposes of selling off parts of the business as they spent a good portion of the months before Covid auditing the company in a very obvious way.
The whole situation is suspect and I’m frankly concerned about what the future looks like.
