Market Opportunity

The effort to deploy high-capacity fiber networks continues to meaningfully broaden the set of opportunities for our industry.

  • Major industry participants are constructing or upgrading significant wireline networks across broad sections of the country
  • High-capacity fiber networks are increasingly viewed as the most costeffective technology, enabling multiple revenue streams from a singleinvestment
  • Fiber network deployment opportunities are increasing in rural America; federal and state grant programs for the construction of communications networks in underserved regions across the country are unprecedented

A Strong Trend for Fiber

Data usage and download/upload speeds continue to increase as consumer behavior moves to streaming, video conferencing, and connected devices.

Strong Tailwinds For Deployment

Increasing clarity around US telco fiber build plans

  • Increasing consumer demand for bandwidth continues to drive fiber deployments
  • New fiber passings estimate of ~7.5 million for 2023 compared to ~6.6 million in 2022, representing the fastest year for fiber deployment on record if executed as planned
  • By 2025, its estimated that 55%+ of US homes and businesses will have a direct fiber connection, vs. approximately 39% at the end of 2022

In their own
words

“Firstly, building 1.3 million fiber passings this year will mean we will have delivered by the end of the year exactly the build ambition that we set out at emergence 2 years ago. And secondly, we are actually accelerating our build this year…The way to think about our build ambition of 1.3 million homes passed this year is at a minimum build from here on. We think we’ve got plenty of operational gas in the tank to further accelerate if and when the conditions are ready for that.”

– Nick Jeffery, CEO Frontier Communications, February 2023

“So first, overall, we had always guided to 30 million-plus homes by 2025. That remains our guidance…And all of that doesn’t include the money that we expect to secure from the government as part of the overall broadband infrastructure bill. And it didn’t include the 1.5 million we’ve already announced in our Gigapower partnership with BlackRock. And in success, I would expect that to also be something we expand upon if itproves out as we expected.”

– Pascal Desroches, CFO AT&T, February 2023
