<p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>(11) Segment Information </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 40px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Prior to the CenturyLink acquisition, our operating revenues were generated primarily from our former segments (business markets, mass markets and wholesale markets), and our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") regularly reviewed information for each of our segments to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. The accounting principles used to determine segment results were the same as those used in our consolidated financial statements. We also reclassified and reallocated certain prior year segment revenues and expense amounts presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to conform to the current period presentation. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; text-indent: 40px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">As of April 1, 2011, closing of the CenturyLink acquisition, our operations will be integrated into and will be reported as part of the segments of CenturyLink. CenturyLink's CODM has become our CODM, but will review our financial information on an aggregate basis only in connection with our quarterly and annual reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Consequently, in future reports we will no longer provide Qwest-only segment information. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 40px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">For each former segment, segment income equals its revenues minus its expenses and other expenses allocated to it based on its operations. Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is summarized in the following table: </font></p>
