UPN Expands Further in Nebraska

October 8th, 2014 by · 1 Comment

Following quickly on the heels of last week’s buildout plans over in Iowa, Yesterday Unite Private Networks announced another expansion on the other side of Missouri River. The midwestern fiber builder and operator plans to build out an additional 600 route miles of fiber in the southeastern part of Nebraska.

UPN’s existing footprint in Nebraska includes both organically grown fiber and that which they purchased from Zito Media two years ago.   This buildout looks as if it will meld the two into a more cohesive footprint, completing the set as it were.

Alongside its investments in Iowa and Colorado’s front range, UPN’s network in the Midwest is starting to look more broadly regional, moving far beyond the isolated metro loops they started with.  I’m a bit surprised they haven’t done more expanding of the inorganic variety, but it certainly seems to be working for them.
