Dark Fiber: Monetizing an Essential Asset in a Broadband World
Join Keller and Heckman Telecommunications partners Doug Jarrett and Tom Magee for a complimentary webinar prepared for operators of fiber networks looking to generate revenue from available network capacity through dark fiber leases and indefeasible rights of use (IRUs).
The growing demand for fiber-based network capacity is being driven by bandwidth-intensive Internet applications, cloud computing, enterprise and government communications, and 5G wireless networks. While the largest service providers maintain substantial fiber networks, these and other service providers look to other fiber network operators to extend, add redundancy, or increase capacity of their systems.
Our presentation will provide an in-depth review of the major deal points, service provider/enterprise expectations, essential business terms, and risk allocation provisions in dark fiber leases and IRU agreements.
At the end of the presentation, the presenters will have an open question and answer session for the attendees, time permitting.
