T-Mobile Eyes Uniti Fiber Assets as Expansion Strategy Continues
Potential deal would expand carrier’s fiber footprint in rural markets.
April 6, 2026 – T-Mobile is exploring a potential acquisition of fiber assets from Uniti Group as part of its broader push into the fiber broadband market.
The reported deal would center on Uniti’s Kinetic fiber business, a rural internet service operated through Windstream. Kinetic provides fiber, cable and DSL connectivity across underserved areas, positioning it as a key asset.
T-Mobile’s interest reflects its ongoing strategy to grow beyond its wireless base and deepen its presence in fiber. The company made similar moves last year through acquisitions of regional fiber providers Lumos and Metronet.
