Quick View: Orange Investor Partnerships To Accelerate Fibre Rollout In Poland

摘要

The Latest: Orange is currently reviewing options for a potential partnership aimed at the creation of a co-controlled FibreCo in Poland. Implications: The operator is looking to capitalise on investors' interest in telecoms infrastructure. Europe has recently seen deals either between telcos and external investors (as in Portugal) or joint ventures between rival operators (as in Switzerland) aimed at supporting a faster and more cost-effective deployment of fibre infrastructure. With demand for superfast broadband set to continue to increase and given fibre's role as backbone infrastructure for 5G, investors are eyeing opportunities in this area.
