The Data Centre Stayed Put. Its New Operator Needed Fresh Powers.

American Tower’s Latin America revenue rose. The tenant billings went the other way.
The tower landlord reported 10% more Latin American revenue in the third quarter. Currency translation supplied most of the increase, while customer cancellations, chiefly in Brazil, pushed the region’s tenant billings down. A fuller top line can hide an emptier lease register.

PTS Wants to Auction 90 MHz. Bidders Must Bring Their Own Uplink.

Marvell has agreed to buy Lumentum in shares, with an announced enterprise value of about $115bn. The merger agreement says who pays if a better offer pulls either company away, and when a regulator alone can leave Marvell owing $3.2bn. It also draws a line around the concessions…
