As of September 30, 2024, future undiscounted lease payments under operating leases were $25.59 billion, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.4 years. As of September 30, 2024, we have additional operating leases, that have not yet commenced, with lease obligations of approximately $18.49 billion, mostly for data centers and colocations. These operating leases will commence between the remainder of 2024 and 2029 with lease terms of greater than one year to 25 years.
