The Australian investment bank, Macquarie, is reportedly considering an exit from KCom amidst escalating competition within the UK alternative network (altnet) sector. A recent report in The Telegraph suggests that Macquarie has engaged advisors from PJT Partners to conduct a strategic review of KCom, indicating potential changes on the horizon.
PJT Partners sets out to scrutinize UK telecom operator, KCOM’s business strategy, a move that could trigger significant changes like a sale or merger. This arises from previous disclosures regarding the potential interest of CityFibre and Virgin Media O2 in purchasing the uniquely positioned company that operates independently of BT’s Openreach network.
Following successful end-to-end integration testing of their OTS solutions, telecommunication pioneers Sonalake and KCOM further prepare for industry-wide trials. Their collaboration trailblazes customer experience advancements with agile innovation, particularly with Sonalake’s launch of pivOTS™. This enterprise-grade solution aids ISPs in achieving OTS compliance securely and cost-effectively.
