Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Pending Divestiture of our European, Middle Eastern and African Business On November 2, 2022, affiliates of Level 3 Parent, LLC entered into an exclusive arrangement to divest our operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (the “EMEA business”) to Colt Technology Services Group Limited, a portfolio company of Fidelity Investments, in exchange for $1.8 billion in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments. We expect to close the transaction as early as late 2023, following completion of a consultation process under French law required prior to execution of the purchase agreement and receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals in the U.S. and certain countries where the EMEA business operates, as well as the satisfaction of other customary conditions. Upon being executed following the French consultation process, the purchase agreement will contain various customary covenants for transactions of this type, including various indemnities.
