The largest alternative full fibre broadband network in the United Kingdom, CityFibre<\/a>, which has already built their fibre lines to cover 4.7 million UK premises (with 1m customers connected), is reportedly working with shareholders to raise around \u00a3900m to boost their future network expansion and consolidation strategy.<\/p>\n

The operator has so far had a bit of a mixed year. On the one hand the take-up of their network has been given a significant boost by the addition of major UK ISP Sky Broadband<\/a> to their wholesale network and last year they reached a crucial UK funding agreement worth \u00a32.3bn (mix of debt and equity), which was partly intended to fuel future consolidation.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> CityFibre<\/a> is owned by Antin Infrastructure Partners, Goldman Sachs, Mubadala Investment Company, Interogo Holding and is understood to be carrying c.\u00a33.7 billion of net debt. The FTTP<\/a> network they\u2019re building, which aspires to cover 8 million premises in the future, is supported by UK ISPs such as Vodafone<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, Zen Internet<\/a>, Sky Broadband<\/a> and many more.<\/div>\n

On the other hand, they’ve been having to make more workers redundant (here<\/a>) and recently lost out to VMO2 and nexfibre<\/a>’s parents on a significant merger deal with Netomnia<\/a> (here<\/a>). Suffice to say that their long-held plans for wider market M&A (consolidation) activity have perhaps been going a bit slower than originally planned and, at the same time, they’ve still got debts to manage.<\/p>\n

According to a new report on Bloomberg<\/a> (paywall), CityFibre<\/a>’s existing shareholders are currently working on a plan to raise around \u00a3900m in new equity financing<\/strong>, which is intended to give the operator a larger pot by which to secure significant acquisitions in the alternative network space to help grow more scale.<\/p>\n

A CityFibre spokesperson told ISPreview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCityFibre continues to make strong operational progress, with over one million connections driving profitable growth across our nationwide network. Our shareholders are proposing a substantial equity investment to support M&A, as we explore the right capital structure to rapidly expand to more than 8 million premises and establish the third national network that this country needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At present CityFibre are known to have held discussions with a number of alternative networks, although the extra funding could give them the money to do deals with operators like CommunityFibre<\/a>, Hyperoptic<\/a>, G.Network<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a> or potentially several smaller altnets. But unlike VMO2\/nexfibre<\/a>, they’ll be much more sensitive to overbuild and will want to pick players that don’t compete too directly with their existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n

However, consolidating alternative networks still tends to be a slow, complex and costly process \u2013 particularly with many altnets often continuing to hold an inflated idea of their own asset values. CityFibre\u2019s strategy around all this remains somewhat unproven, but they’ll probably be looking for deals to help replace the sort of scale that an agreement with Netomnia<\/a> might have otherwise delivered.<\/p>\n

Such a funding raise may thus increase the chances of the current market being able to produce at least three large-scale digital fixed infrastructure competitors, as opposed to being allowed to gradually devolve back into more of a duopoly state between Openreach<\/a> and VMO2\/nexfibre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget that CityFibre was one of the one of the key reasons why established giants, like Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) and Virgin Media<\/a> (O2<\/a>), have had to accelerate their own FTTP<\/a> plans in order to avoid losing too much market share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
