However, the provider has also spoken of its &#8220;<em>aspirations to become the UK&#8217;s alt-net aggregator of choice<\/em>&#8220;, which could provide an alternative choice to the likes of PXC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> Wholesale), AllPoints Fibre and others in the wholesale space for rival ISPs (partners) to harness.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with this, Zen has this week announced that it will be making its &#8220;<em>entire full fibre footprint<\/em>&#8221; available to its channel partners via their soon to launch <strong>Fibre Hub<\/strong> platform (not a router). Zen&#8217;s CEO, <strong>Richard Tang<\/strong>, has hinted about doing this before (December), but it&#8217;s now becoming a reality.<\/p>\n<p>Zen also confirmed the unsurprising news that they were currently in discussions with &#8220;<em>several other alt-nets<\/em>&#8220;, including those focused on the B2B market, to help further expand the range of options available to partners.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Richard Tang said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are about 100 companies building full fibre networks in the UK at the moment. One of these is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>, and of the others, there are about 20 or so scale players. We want to offer our partners access to as many of those alt-nets as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The alt-nets are leading the best free market infrastructure competition since the internet began. That&#8217;s great news for Zen and it&#8217;s great news for our partners in terms of choice and competitive pricing. We&#8217;re not stopping with the deals we&#8217;ve made. We&#8217;re talking to a number of other alt-nets already.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The provider added that they&#8217;re currently expecting to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">CityFibre<\/a>&#8217;s full fibre footprints available to partners in April 2025, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/trooli\" target=\"_blank\">Trooli<\/a> will follow &#8220;<em>later this summer<\/em>&#8221; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/freedomfibre\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Freedom Fibre<\/a> are due to be introduced into their Partner Portal &#8220;<em>soon<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>The new Fibre Hub itself will launch to existing Zen Partners towards the end of April, &#8220;<em>offering a one-stop shop for full fibre residential and business availability<\/em>&#8220;, said Zen.
