**telecoms market had evolved recently. trend now if for these companies to form partnerships and joint ventures which contrasts M&A activity that we previously had.
Cityfibre making a bold joint venture with Vodafone certainly the spearhead for this. I anticipate significantly more activity of this nature going forwards at varying scales especially with small to medium size operators looking to unlock some synergistic value whilst eliminating the requirement to splash out on acquisitions.
this could involve sharing and exchanging capabilities such as NOCs, backhauls, POPs, project management and any other resources, to enhance delivery and quality to the customers and end users.
Exciting times for the telecoms industry and for CityFibre's expansion in its capabilities and ambitions for a Gigabit Britain should yield fortuitous returns in the coming years for stakeholders.
