[WHITE PAPER] Guide to successful fibre business models involving and rewarding private financing

On the basis of the full Guide to Successful Fibre Business Models Involving and Rewarding Private Financing, a White Paper has been prepared, presenting key insights gained from the in-depth study of 8 business models for rolling out Fibre-to-the-Home and Fibre-to-the-Office networks. 

With regards to the Guide to Successful Fibre Business Models Involving and Rewarding Private Financing, provides a comprehensive guide on the financial de-risking strategies used to attract large amounts of private financing for large-scale fibre roll-outs. It identifies 8 European companies that have achieved large-scale fibre roll-outs, demonstrating how these companies have become "build-out machines" by clustering projects in different geographic areas and taken together represent:

  • 20m homes passed with fibre at end-2020 (>40m if minority co-financing is included)
  • 45m homes to be passed with fibre by end-2025 (>75m if incl. minority co-financing)

The guide also provides a detailed profile of these companies, their major shareholders, their reference shareholders, and their fundraising operations, including loans granted by consortia of banks, changes in ownership, and the creation of separate companies to hold fibre assets. Both the Guide and White Paper were produced by the FTTH Council Europe's Investors Committee and has been presented on 29 June 2021 through a live session webinar available for the public.
