Not only are they both in Omaha, but I believe both have offices in PKS Plaza. I would be very surprised if WB didn't have a stake in Walter's ventures.

There has for many, many years been a close connection between many senior people of BRK and PKS
I keep forgetting how well connected the leadership of LVLT is. That's important in an industry where there are many interfaces and right of ways to get coast-to-coast and beyond.

"I do not know whether WB or his family have any personal investment in Level 3, but such would not be surprising."

I do not believe (IMO) LVLT fairs well in WB's business model without historical perspective but he has been known to venture from his normal valuation models. After all, he owns 100 shares of Microsoft.
