In a bit of consolidation news earlier this week, the cable operator Cox Communications announced plans to put its metro and regional fiber investments under one roof. To do that they will be acquiring that part of Unite Private Networks they don’t already own.
Cox bought a significant stake in UPN 7 years ago. And since that time it has kept the company on a path of organic expansion. By taking full control of the company now, however, they can merge the assets and operations with Segra, which they bought from EQT just two years ago after building it from the assets of Lumos and Spirit.
