We are a leading ISP providing service in 51 countries with on-net operations in over 219 metropolitan markets which receive and deliver traffic to network operations located in over 3,100 buildings. We are a Tier 1 ISP and believe we have a leading share of the traffic transmitted over the Internet. Our business is energy-intensive, both in the operation of our network and the resales of electricity to our customers in our owned data centers. Our ability to control the nature of power that we use in our business is limited. An important component of our operating strategy to date has been to lease rather than buy the vast majority of our real estate assets. As a result, we rely in most cases on the landlord or data center operator to arrange for the delivery of electricity to power our operations as well as our back-up power supplies. Virtually all of this electricity is Scope 2 in nature — that is it is produced remotely and delivered through electric grid infrastructure. Using estimates of the power used by our network operations and associated overhead, we believe we used in 2022 approximately 63. 6 million kWh to power our network.
