Yes, it's been known that these specific buildings were key to AT&T's infrastructure. But any speculation that these specific buildings (as opposed to other specific buildings) were also key to NSA projects was just an assumption. The new information, which comes from released NSA memos and documents, shows that these specific 8 buildings are key to the NSA, meaning it's not just based on assumption anymore.
There's some other new information in there from the memos/documents, too. You really should actually read the article before mounting your high horse and spouting off nonsense criticism about it.
