Happy New Year to all! While network operators were mostly focused on the organic path last year, there were a few significant deals. Verizon is buying Frontier, Lightpath bought UFD, and of course Uniti and Windstream are merging. And that last one was not a big surprise, as Windstream topped last years poll with Uniti in 4th. What is on tap for 2025 among US network operators? Who you think are the likeliest candidates to be sold (in part or in whole)? (Not including already pending transactions).
If I’ve missed anyone, do let me know. I’ve included some FTTH providers with substantial regional scope, but I’m sure the list is not complete. Feel free to point out any I should add. Where do you think the inorganic activity will be this year?
