SUMMARY:The Effect of New Infrastructure Investments on Network Value – From M&A to Financing
DESCRIPTION:Post-BEAD are investors coming to buy your ISP\, finance it\, or compete in your footprint? Will the dollars keep flowing into broadband on the corporate and government side\, and where will they go? What about non-deployment funds or future grants? \nNo one can predict the future\, so we’re focused on outlining some of the potential scenarios and what to consider. We’ll help you understand the value of your network in these scenarios\, and what you can do to help increase it. \nTopics we’ll cover: \n\nTo M&A or not to M&A? \n\nHow investors are approaching M&A in Telecom \n\nBalancing expansion ROI vs Acquisition\n\nAs BEAD fills out the map there are less attractive areas for expansion so more funds flow to acquisitions\nWill funds be left over on non-deployment that could supplement fees (make some areas better penetration)\n\n\nLess underserved means more money will go into the 2nd or 3rd fiber provider areas\n\nHow will you respond to an entrant? Are there ways to keep them out?\nHow will your economics change if someone does enter?\n\nConsider your debt and capital under different profitability scenarios\n\n\n\n\nWhat money has been received\nWhat is the total future value of the company\n\nPreparing for M&A involves\n\n\n\n\nWhat will lending and interest rates look like?\nNetwork appraisals – Validate/Ensure a fair value assessment of new and existing infrastructure for property taxes – what does fair value mean? \n\n\n\nWalk away\, understanding potential scenarios of government and corporate investment landscapes and how that will affect the value of your network. Along with approaches to consider when preparing and monitoring the situation.
