“BlackRock is pleased to help bring critical broadband services to communities across America,” said Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO, BlackRock. “The demand for high-speed connectivity is unprecedented, and through this innovative partnership with BlackRock, one of the world’s foremost investors in infrastructure, we’re able to connect even more people and businesses, accelerating our efforts to help close the digital divide.”
That’s why we’re already one of the biggest investors in fiber in the United States,” said John Stankey, CEO of AT&T. “We believe fiber connectivity changes everything. At a time when broadband connectivity has never been more in demand or more critical to our day-to-day lives, both companies believe now is the time to create the United States’ largest commercial wholesale open access fiber network to bring high-speed connectivity to more Americans.Īs Gigapower’s first tenant, AT&T will be able to greatly expand the number of customers and communities with access to the award-winning fiber internet service, AT&T Fiber. With Gigapower, AT&T - one of the largest investors in fiber in America - and BlackRock - one of the largest investors in infrastructure - have come together to give more Americans access to super-fast, reliable, high-capacity fiber. Gigapower plans to provide a state-of-the-art fiber network to internet service providers and other businesses in parts of select metro areas throughout the country using a commercial wholesale open access platform. AT&T* ( NYSE:T) and BlackRock ( NYSE:BLK), through a fund managed by its Diversified Infrastructure business, have closed their joint venture to form Gigapower, LLC.
