Comcast has instigated talks with Openreach rivals as it seeks to accelerate the rollout of ultrafast full fibre broadband. The company has written to the head of the altnets such as CityFibre, Gigaclear and TalkTalk backed FibreNation expressing interest in deals to accelerate deployment of fibre-optic broadband across the UK. Talks will not extend to joint investments in infrastructure according to a report in the Telegraph, despite speculation that Comcast’s parent Sky may have aspirations to expand into network ownership.
