FFB Episode 21 - How Fiber Providers And Emerging Services Are Lighting Up The U.S. Landscape

In this Fiber for Breakfast episode, Rosemary Cochran, Principal and Co-Founder, Vertical Systems Group, will discuss how Fiber Providers are expanding the base of lit commercial buildings and data centers across the country and outlines the key trends and services driving demand. Today’s U.S. Business Fiber landscape includes more than one million on-net sites, supplied by hundreds of retail and wholesale providers. The annual benchmark for measuring market leadership in this segment is Vertical’s Fiber Lit Buildings LEADERBOARD, which ranks the top providers based on fiber penetration rates. Latest research analysis shows that while the pandemic hampered installations during 2020, emerging services such as 5G plus opportunities in the small buildings segment will boost rollouts of new business fiber in 2021.
