What is the expected revenue for the T-Mobile deployment in the long term? 
 really again to come back to driving tower-like communications infrastructure business models. So that's it. I'm a short setting couple of soundbites, and you'll continually hear more and more about our strategy there as it develops. And as we continue to go down the journey.

Got it. Thank you. That was actually a lot of detail. Just one quick follow-up on that and this fall mainly has to do with domestic versus international and this micro opportunity.
A lot of the focus and the commentary has been focused on the domestic deployment of micro data centers. But what about international, right. There are clearly big differences in terms of how the network looks abroad. And do you see edge being a much bigger opportunity abroad versus domestic at least it's in the next two to three years, or is it going to be predominately focused on domestic opportunities for now.

As I mentioned before traditionally, our international markets are a couple of technologies behind where they are in the United States. Having said that though, I think one of the real advantages that we bring to a venture is our global reach. And the lack of really processing capability in many of the emerging markets that we have today. And so while I think this strategy will probably more initially develop in the United States, I think the real value ultimately, particularly, as the world shrinks, and as the cloud learns -- will connect us a whole and does move to the edge.
I think our global reach is actually a really interesting element. To what as I said, we bring to the party, and so it's difficult to say how the outside the United State market might develop. We might find in certain markets that it may develop more quickly and that the edge compute capability turns into more than just an edge. You may be able to cluster certain edges to provide more of a metro data facility.
Again, particularly, in areas of the world where there really isn't a lot of data center presence. So it'll be a very interesting question. And one, we're getting our arms around and understanding exactly what are the benefits as a result of having that global reach. I think candidly that they're significant, and we'll try to leverage that as much as we possibly can.

And our final question comes from Batya Levi with UBS. Please, go ahead.
Batya Levi -- UBS -- Analyst
Great. Thank you. A couple of follow-ups under Timor MLA again. I think you adjusted the straight line for this year, $20 million higher than the original guidance.
What drove that. And second, in terms of as you look at the T-Mobile deployment, you have a pretty good insight into the long term and that will expand. Would you be able to provide some color if you think that you took a larger share of Timor's future activity with this long term contract. And also to the extent that T-Mobile acquires more spectrum or builds more sites do you -- can you give us some commentary in terms of could there be upside to this existing MLA, or is it mostly captured at least for the next few years.
Tom Bartlett -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. No thanks. Let me start in a right to get in to add any additional color. On the straight line, I mean it's -- we're just refining the calculations as you might expect it.
It's a very complicated calculation. And so it was just the refinement of the calculation is that we are able to do so. There's nothing remarkable I think going on with regards to the actual straight-line calculation. And with regard to your other question, I mean all of our contracts are designed to take more than our fair share of the business.
And as I mentioned before historically in the United States, we've captured over 50% of the new business in the United States. And so our contracts are designed to do that but in a way that's providing a meaningful capability and service to our customers. And so with regards to that the agreement that we put in
 really again to come back to driving tower-like communications infrastructure business models. So that's it. I'm a short setting couple of soundbites, and you'll continually hear more and more about our strategy there as it develops. And as we continue to go down the journey.
