WASHINGTON, September 9, 2024 – AT&T announced on Monday wholesale agreements with four open access fiber broadband providers. That’s in addition to the company’s existing partnership on an open access network with investment firm BlackRock.

“Each company AT&T is working with was selected because they provide opportunities to expand AT&T Fiber distribution to new service areas without existing fiber options,” the company wrote in a release. “As these providers add fiber locations, AT&T will evaluate where it wants to offer AT&T Fiber.”

Those companies are Boldyn Networks, Digital Infrastructure Group, PRIME FiBER, and Uniquity. Initial build areas include multiple Texas military bases by Boldyn, PRIME in Florida, and Ubiquity in Minnesota. AT&T didn’t specify the size of those projects but said it’s on track to surpass its goal of 30 million passings by the end of next year, potentially by as much as 15 million.
