Level 3 Communications above 57 cents
Level 3 Communications is a $2 Billion high-risk mid cap growth value company.
LVLT traded as high as 132.25 in March 2000 and as low as 57 cents in December 2008.
LVLT is an International Internet Protocol Company based in Broomfield, Colorado.
As the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report has it, Level 3 is a successor to certain businesses of Peter Kiewit Sons’ Inc,
engaged in telecommunications and computer outsourcing.
Peter Kiewit Sons’ was a private coal and construction company chaired by Walter Scott Jr. They decided to run telecom internet lines alongside railroad tracks and in cities of America and Europe.
LVLT is still chaired by Mr Scott, who likes to buy undervalued Telecom assets when he can at bargain prices. So do we.
LVLT runs one of the largest end-to-end Transatlantic Internet backbones in the world, with 77,000 miles in Europe and North America in 23 countries and 125 markets.
These crucial lines provide Caller ID, content, digital data, E-911, last mile fiber optics, patented software switching, video, voice and wireless towers.
LVLT’s $11 Billion cost proprietary Internet lines in cities, along railroad lines, and under the Atlantic Ocean are carried below $10 Billion, a precious undervalued asset to be sure.
Level 3 information transmission lines are fully upgradeable, with 10-16 empty conduits alongside their fiber optic network, while other telecoms may have just one occupied conduit.

Aloha All
Update on LVLT @ 1.27:
While Level Three Communications is up only 30% in the last year, (195% from March 2009 low to June 2009 high), and LVLT continues to report bad news, LVLT volume today was almost three times average volume.
Maybe it has to do with Google announcing a new super-speed broadband network 100 times as fast for 3D commercial, educational, entertainment and medical applications.
One way to do that would involve piggybacking or adding to LVLT’s national right of way conduits for the fiber-optic highway.
The FCC is a month away from providing a National Broadband Plan to Congress.
Aloha and Mahalo*Rich
