AT&T is once again exploring a sale of its data center assets, according to The Wall Street Journal. As it prepares for the potential $85 billion purchase of Time Warner and a year of record capital spending, AT&T could raise at least $1 billion from the sale of its data center assets.
AT&T owns data centers in 14 U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and San Jose. The carrier also owns data centers in the Asia Pacific region, as well as in Western Europe and Brazil.
