Panel Discussion: Altnets for agile network deployment

Altnets are arguably better placed than incumbents to truly innovate and transform network service provision for customers, because they aren’t contending with legacy infrastructure. The panel will compare return on investment in different business models to optimise healthy competition, weigh up the short and long-term gains of deployment of fibre on poles vs in the ground and discuss how companies are investing in densifying metro fibre networks and exploring strategies such as “build and acquire”.
