Lumen & Zoom expand partnership

Don’t know much tech stuff but does this enhance speed and quality of Zoom’s product?

Not specifically. Lumen was previously discussed here. It’s a telecom company with physical infrastructure for broadband (think phone lines and fiber). The original partnership was to provide Zoom as the backbone for its own enterprise telecom services. This almost sounds like a reiteration of that initial message. I think the only difference may be specific Zoom branding vs branding as Lumen (with zoom as the engine).

This partnership is good for both companies. Lumen gets to offer a great product which makes it more appealing to customers, and Zoom gets more exposure and more sales.

Think of bundled services from cable or internet. Sometimes that type of arrangement makes sense. It makes more sense if the services in the bundle are top tier.
