Infrastructure firm M Group Services, which among other things also caters for the UK and Ireland via its various broadband and mobile focused civil engineering brands (Avonline Networks, magdalene, Morrison and waldon), is reportedly in “advanced talks” with private equity giant CVC Capital Partners over a possible £1.5bn acquisition deal.

The M Group’s Telecom Division typically provide a full end-to-end service offering to fixed, private and mobile operators that covers everything from the design, build and maintenance of the telecom infrastructure for key clients like Openreach, Virgin Media, Three UK, Gigaclear, CTIL, Hyperoptic, MBNL and more. But the group also extends into water, energy and transport.

However, a recent report on Sky News claims that Luxembourg-based CVC, which floated on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange during May 2024, is now the final remaining bidder for M Group after seeing off rival interest from the Apollo Global Management and others. A deal is expected to be signed sometime this summer.

Such an agreement would also need the blessing of private equity firm PAI Partners, which since 2018 has been the majority owner of M Group (Citi are said to be advising PAI on the process). The deal, if approved, could give M Group an important boost and help them to expand, although they don’t appear to be short of orders.

According to M Group’s last investor update in November 2023, the company’s order book and bid pipeline were continuing to grow. On 30th September 2023, the order book was £6.7 billion (vs £5.4 billion last year) with a further £400m awaiting signature. This provided visibility for 94% of their FY24 budget revenues (up from 86% a year ago).

Network access provider Openreach (BT) has revealed that a good number of their UK broadband and phone engineers will now be given an extra fun task to perform, which involves measuring the number of bugs that get unceremoniously splatted across their vans.

The company currently operates the UK’s second-largest commercial van fleet, which totals around 29,000 vehicles and covers more than 4 million miles every year. Suffice to say that a lot of insects get wiped out on their vehicles and this is of interest to the ‘Bugslife‘ study (supported by the Kent Wildlife Trust), which is a national citizen science project that aims to raise awareness of insect conservation.

The UK wide survey, which started on 1st May 2024 and runs until 30th September 2024, essentially encourages volunteers to measure insect splats (the number of dead insects) on vehicle number plates as a sign of insect abundance. Naturally, the addition of Openreach’s fleet could make a huge difference to this, with the operator “aiming to double last year’s input data by recording 4,000 Openreach journeys alone.”

The hope is that Openreach’s commitment might inspire other businesses to get involved. But the network operator also sees this as helping in their efforts to “minimise its disturbance to natural habitats and move towards becoming a nature positive business.”

Andrew Whale, Chief Engineer for Openreach, said:

“Using our fleet and our engineers on the ground to support this important piece of citizen science is simply the right thing to do, and an easy one for everybody to take action for nature; we can all get involved, it’s very simple to do and we are proud to support one of our partners in improving this critical data”

The “Bugs Matter” study has been conducted on an annual basis since 2001, based on a reference survey by the RSPB in 2004. Analysis of records from nearly 26,500 UK journeys over this period shows a continuing decrease in insect numbers, with the number of insect splats nationwide in 2023 being 78% lower than that of 2004. Good news if you’re planning a countryside picnic, at least.

On the one hand, counting insects gives an estimate of the abundance of insect life in our towns, and countryside, and a measure of the health of our environment. This can be used to show where wildlife is recovering and thus how effective any related conservation efforts have been, as well as where there may be problems. On the other hand, yuk!

Alternative broadband operator Airband, which aims to cover 400,000 premises in rural parts of Wales and South West England via a mix of fixed wireless access (FWA) and full fibre (FTTP) networks by 2026, has done something that we don’t often see from Altnets by launching a TV campaign to promote their service.

The TV ad, which will be shown in parts of the country where Airband has a presence, features the voiceover of BAFTA award-winning comedy actor Charlie Cooper characterised as a duck who is comparing life in the countryside with the conveniences of living in a city to help highlight Airband’s connectivity solutions for rural communities.

The announcement states that Airband has already brought “superfast connectivity access” to over 315,000 premises in over 200 communities across 7 counties. This is the same figure that majority shareholder, abrdn, promoted in March 2024.

However, it’s worth noting that this reflects 230,000 premises as Ready for Service (RFS) and combines both their wireless and full fibre deployments (they also had 19,000 customers). We think upwards of 220k premises from that 315k total are being catered for solely by FTTP.

James Hyland, Head of Marketing at Airband, said:

“For too long communities and businesses outside of major cities have had to put up with little to no broadband provision. Airband changes all of that, our funny and slightly tongue-in-cheek campaign shows that we understand that country life is very much like city life, just with a better view!.”

Ordinarily, the launch of a new TV ad campaign wouldn’t be particularly interesting, which is partly because most of those come from the major providers and are thus part of routine. But it’s much less common to see smaller players putting in the not insignificant investment to do something similar, although Gigaclear did do one in 2022 (here).

The move will be seen as part of Airband’s efforts to improve take-up of their service(s), which follows after a period of restructuring that disrupted some builds and caused redundancies (here and here). But since then, the operator has been able to secure additional investment from abrdn to “accelerate rural broadband expansion” across the West of England (here).

A seemingly new alternative network provider called Vale Communications Infrastructure (part of the Vale Group) has sprung up with a plan to deploy a new full fibre (10Gbps capable XGS-PON) broadband and wireless network, which is targeting coverage of 1.2 million premises passed – across 19 towns – by the end of 2025.

The plan was revealed as part of the company’s application for Code Powers from Ofcom. Such powers are typically sought to help speed-up deployments of new fibre and cut costs, not least by reducing the number of licenses needed for street works. The powers can also help with supporting access to run new fibre via Openreach’s (BT) existing cable ducts and poles (PIA), which is something VCI have indicated they may harness.

Launching a new Altnet into an already overcrowded market, which is also under some strain due to high builds costs and high interest rates, is currently quite a risky endeavour. But a quick look at Vale’s code powers application and website suggests that they aren’t being phased by any of that.

Extract from Vale’s Code Powers Application

The Applicant plans to deploy an independent backhaul and local access networks using a combination of 10G-PON / XGPON and FWA technologies which have a lifespan of at least 25 years and provide high quality, resilient broadband services to businesses and consumers.

The capacity of the network allows for services to be sold to all premises the network passes, however, the capacity and the electronics can be upgraded to offer higher bandwidth, if necessary. The network is therefore future proof, as demand requires. The backhaul network will provide a resilient fibre optic ring connecting to Points of Presence (colocation) in Manchester, Liverpool, London, Leeds and Hull.

…

Additionally, as part of its ESG initiatives, the Applicant intends to partner with social housing associations to deliver free or subsidised broadband services to low-income households and promote digital inclusion and address the ‘Digital Divide’.

The Applicant is already in advanced discussions with a social housing provider to launch a pilot scheme providing free broadband services to 100 social housing properties in Greater Manchester area by May 2024. Subject to successful completion of the pilot, there are ambitions to extend the scheme to 6,000 residential social housing properties, allowing occupants to fully benefit from online services.

However, the figure of 1.2 million premises passed actually comes from their website, which appears to indicate that they’re already “live” in parts of three towns – Bolton, Bury and Oldham (there’s a clear initial focus on the North West of England). But at the time of writing we couldn’t find an availability checker on their website, or any package details, which would have helped us to verify this.

The sole Director of VCI, which was only incorporated on 1st November 2023, is named as David Allan Sharples, who appears to be an active Director of multiple other companies, including several within the ‘Vale Group’ – most of which were similarly setup between October 2023 and March 2024 (e.g. Vale Telecommunications Group Ltd, Vale Broadband Ltd, Vale Communications Group Plc and Vale Telecommunications Holdings Ltd.).

Suffice to say there’s still a lot we don’t know about the new player in town, but they appear to have big plans. Ofcom’s related consultation will run until 25th July 2024, but they rarely reject such applications once they’ve been made. Hopefully more details on Vale will surface in the future.

Viewpoint

By Rajiv Datta, CEO of nexfibre

Our industry’s achievements

There is so much to celebrate in our industry. The significant investment made in deploying full fibre networks over the past few years has given the nation’s fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) rollout the shot in the arm it needed, creating a dynamism and competitive frisson that has been absent from the sector for a decade or more. This investment means that today full-fibre broadband is available to more than half of UK homes.

Much of that growth has been facilitated by the physical infrastructure access (PIA) regime created by Ofcom in 2018 and significantly enhanced in the 2021 Wholesale Fixed Term Market Review. PIA is considerably more efficient for alternative network operators (altnets) than building their own infrastructure, allowing for a more rapid and cost-efficient roll-out of fibre networks.

Growing the network is important, as access to full fibre broadband is already a major engine of economic growth for the UK. This will only become truer as technology marches forward. Digital connectivity is increasingly the power that moves nations. In the same way that physical infrastructure drove progress and prosperity for the UK in the past, digital infrastructure will be the enabler of a brighter future.

Emerging fragility in the market

Progress has been tremendous, but it is fragile. The market still lacks genuine national-scale competition to Openreach, which is one of the main reasons why the UK still lags behind many of its international peers in FTTH rollout. This is something nexfibre is seeking to challenge. Failure to do so will be the greatest single threat to future progress.

The current market structure remains unsustainable over the long-term. Today, the full fibre market is characterised by the presence of a large number of sub-scale altnets, whose investment in network rollout is rapidly declining. Customer uptake rates at both the wholesale and retail level have been lower than expected and altnets are facing further financial pressures due to increasingly expensive and scarce access to capital. Most altnets have already begun to slow or, in some cases, cease their rollouts altogether.

The economics of fixed network infrastructure mean there can be only a small number of long-term viable operators. Given this dynamic, consolidation in the pursuit of scale and more efficient operations is both inevitable and necessary.

The UK’s digital landscape is at a pivotal moment

The market is at a crossroads. What comes next matters. Take the wrong turn and the UK could head back to a place where there is a single dominant provider. Choose the right path – by prioritising competition, investment, and innovation – and the stage is set for the development of a dynamic, consumer-centric telecoms market that will power the UK’s digital future for generations to come.

Our first nexfibre report, published this week, looks in detail at how the industry – and the regulator, via the upcoming Telecoms Access Review (TAR) –  can protect the progress that has been made to date and unlock the full potential of full fibre broadband to transform our economy and society in the future.

The key, I believe, is to promote sustainable national scale competition to Openreach, which should be the major consideration for the industry and the primary focus of the TAR.

Key areas of focus

Later this summer we will publish a short paper outlining how the TAR should seek to create the right conditions for national scale infrastructure competition.

Broadly, we think those should cover three areas.

The first is the need to create a stable regulatory environment which continues to attract the much-needed investment required to complete the rollout of full fibre and support our digital infrastructure.

The second is the requirement for a regulatory framework that ensures a consistent and equitable playing field for all, which is vital for the future development of a competitive and innovative market.

The third involves advocating for sustainable competition that benefits everyone, not just to complete the current full fibre rollout, but to support the future investment necessary to keep the UK at the forefront of digital innovation and prevent fragmentation by sub-scale operators.

nexfibre is the national-scale challenger the market needs

We have thought about this a great deal at nexfibre. Our mission is to provide lasting national scale competition to Openreach and transform access to fibre broadband in the UK. We are tremendously well-placed to do that given the maturity of our investors, the quality of our future-proofed technology, and our strategic partnership with Virgin Media O2, which grants us solid baseline market penetration to build upon. Combining our fibre footprint with Virgin Media O2’s on a wholesale basis, which will amount to over 21 million homes passed, will drive our ambition to become a true national-scale competition to the market.

We have proven we can walk the walk – investing £1bn in digital infrastructure in 2024 alone and passing over 1 million premises after just 16 months of operation. However, scale network providers like us need an environment that supports, not hinders, nascent competition.

All of us with a stake in the market have a role to play in the consultation and review process. We stand ready to work with policymakers and regulators to create the best environment for the UK’s digital infrastructure economy and look forward to engaging constructively over the coming months to help shape a bright future for our industry.

Network builder nexfibre, which is being supported by UK ISP Virgin Media (O2), has today warned that the progress on rolling out gigabit full fibre (FTTP) broadband networks across the UK remains “fragile” and it wants Ofcom to take “decisive action” to prevent the “mistakes of the past” (i.e. Openreach domination) from being “repeated“.

So far Nexfibre has covered over 1 million premises across the UK with their new network and they’re currently in the process of investing another £1bn during 2024, which should enable them to cover an additional 1 million premises. The project reflects a £4.5bn joint venture between Telefónica, Liberty Global and InfraVia Capital Partners, which was setup in 2022 (here) and shares some of the same parentage with Virgin Media.

The operator’s ultimate aim is to deploy an open access fibre network to reach “up to” 7 million UK homes (starting with 5m by 2026) in areas NOT currently served by Virgin Media’s network of 16m+ premises. But they’re also mindful of how their plans and vested interests could potentially be impacted by Ofcom’s upcoming Telecoms Access Review 2026 (here), which is naturally something they’d want to protect.

As part of this concern, the operator has today published a new report – ‘Platform for progress‘. The report broadly calls on the industry, policymakers and Ofcom to work together in order to focus on “prioritising competition, investment and innovation,” while at the same time avoiding any changes that could cause the UK to “head back to a place where there is a single dominant provider” (i.e. Openreach).

The report advocates for 3 “crucial” areas:

➤ A stable regulatory environment which continues to attract the much-needed investment in the UK’s digital infrastructure. The only way the UK can drive momentum beyond the current roll-out is to ensure a sustainable, competitive market long term.

➤ A regulatory framework which ensures a consistent and equitable playing field for all operators. Regulators and policymakers must restrain anti-competitive behaviour from the incumbent and put in place a regulatory framework which addresses exclusion of competitors.

➤ A market characterised by sustainable competition rather than fragmented sub-scale operators. The UK needs national-scale wholesale competition to secure future progress and generate the right conditions to accelerate innovation and development in the full-fibre market.

The final point above, which seems targeted at smaller alternative networks (Altnets), almost reads like an attempt by nexfibre to have their cake and eat it (i.e. arguing both against a single dominant provider and, at the same time, a patchwork market of smaller altnets). As we said, vested interests are all at play here, given that nexfibre’s build targets the upper middle ground of market scale (5-7m premises).

Rajiv Datta, CEO of nexfibre, said:

“I am delighted to publish nexfibre’s ‘Platform for Progress’ report, reflecting on our first year operating in the market and taking a critical look at what is needed to further unlock the sector’s potential.

As we have set out today, the market faces a series of challenges. Some of these have been driven by a historic lack of investment and others have been the result of external factors. All of them can be overcome if we create a dynamic market environment conducive to competition and progress.

I look forward to working with industry partners and policymakers as we move towards delivering digital infrastructure that is fit for the future.”

Breaking news.. more to follow..

A new study from Cable.co.uk and M-Lab has used data gathered from 62 million UK internet-based speed tests, conducted between 1st July 2023 and 13th May 2024, to rank each of the country’s parliamentary constituencies by their average broadband ISP download performance. Overall, SNP constituencies were found to be the slowest, while Labour were the fastest.

The new research should perhaps be taken with a big pinch of salt, since this often has much more to do with the commercial / build challenges of each area than support for a particular party. For example, the main reason why SNP constituencies were the slowest is likely to be much more a facet of Scotland’s many rural and sparse communities, which makes us question the wisdom of studies like this due to their potential to mislead.

As we’ve said before, the data used in speed testing-based reports like can also come with plenty of caveats, not least of which is the fact that the results should never be equated to directly reflect the availability of faster connections in a particular area, as the two are often far from being in sync. If anything, the results may be more a reflection of consumer take-up, than actual network capability.

In addition, people are usually more likely to measure their speed if there is something wrong or if they aren’t getting the speed they need, which can sometimes produce a negative bias. The fact that the study also completely overlooks other key metrics, such as upload speeds and latency times, is another aspect to consider. Now let’s find out what Cable.co.uk says.

The Results

Overall, Labour constituencies were found to have the fastest average download speeds (126.75Mbps), beating the Conservatives in second place (121.20Mbps). This was followed by “Independent and other” parties on 116.41Mbps, the Liberal Democrats with 112.97Mbps and the Scottish National Party (SNP) hitting just 111.46Mbps.

Labour has six of the top ten fastest constituencies in the UK, with the Conservatives having three, along with one independent. But on the other hand, the Conservatives hold six of the slowest ten constituencies in the UK, while Labour hold none. This will of course change dramatically next month, depending upon how people vote, which is another reason why such studies should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Finally, the study takes a quick look at how the constituencies of the current main party leaders stack up for broadband speed, which finds that Ed Davey (Kingston and Surbiton – LibDem) comes top on 163.49Mbps, followed by Keir Starmer (Holborn and St Pancras – Labour) on 131.06Mbps and Rishi Sunak (Richmond and Northallerton – Conservative) sits at the bottom with 97.26Mbps.

The SNP leader, John Swinney, doesn’t have a constituency as his former constituency has been redrawn in the boundary shake-up prior to this General Election and so is not included below.

A decision could be made in November, according to reports 

French telco group Orange is exploring the potential sale of its 40% share in Mauritius Telecom, according to a Bloomberg report citing anonymous sources.

According to the sources, Orange has met with advisers to discuss the potential sale, but has not yet spoken to Mauritius Telecom’s board regarding its interest in a share buyback scheme.  

Orange has owned the 40% stake in the company since 2000, with the remaining 60% stake held by the Mauritian government various state-owned investment vehicles. 

As the largest carrier in Mauritius, Mauritius Telecom serves approximately 1.3 million subscribers.  

 The potential stake sale comes as part of Orange’s strategic realignment to concentrate on its core assets and divesting from what it considers to be non-core holdings. 

Orange is actively pursuing consolidation projects in Spain and Belgium. Its merger with MasMovil in Spain was given the greenlight by the European Commission back in February, subject to conditions on the sale of spectrum. Romania’s Digi (the largest MVNO in Spain) will acquire spectrum from MásMóvil in order to become a new fourth mobile operator. 

“Convergence in Europe has proven to be key to our leadership in Europe and demonstrates how Orange’s new strategy, Lead the Future, will continue to meet the digital needs that our customers in Europe demand,” said Mari-Noëlle Jégo-Laveissière, the CEO of Orange Europe upon the company’s acquisition of telco operator VOO SA in June last year.

The nationwide rollout is expected to deliver energy savings of up to 4.5m KWh per year across the entire network

This week, EE has announced that it has rolled out its new dynamic ‘cell sleep’ technology across its 4G mobil network, potentially greatly reducing its power consumption.

The technology functions by putting certain 4G LTE carriers into a less functional low-power mod (i.e., ‘cell sleep’) at times when this capacity is not likely to be needed. These periods of cell sleep are predetermined by using machine learning to analyse the site’s usage and identify periods of lower demand.

If demand on a site increases unexpectantly during a scheduled sleep period, the site can be automatically brought back to full power in a matter of seconds.

In addition to this more intermittent cell sleep, sites are also equipped with an even more extreme low-power mode, ‘deep sleep’, which is useful for period of extremely low demand, like the middle of the night.

Taken altogether, this ‘cell sleep’ technology can deliver energy savings of up to 2 KWh per site per day, equating to 4.5m KWh per year across the entire network.

“There is huge potential for energy savings across our networks by dynamically matching power consumption against network usage,” said Greg McCall, Chief Networks Officer at BT. “The optimisation and roll-out of cell sleep technology to over 19,500 sites across the UK is a significant milestone in achieving this, and an important development in countering the massive growth in data consumption we’re seeing across our networks.”

Dynamically altering a mobile site’s power consumption based on user demand is becoming increasingly popular among the mobile operator community, something that has only been accelerated by the rapid improvement of AI and machine learning in recent years. Ericsson, for example, has been particularly vocal about the potential benefits of this type of technology, showing off their own sleep mode technology with Deutsche Telekom earlier this year.

Vodafone Spain is currently facing strike action due to a redundancy plan implemented by its new owner, Zegona Communications 

The Spanish trade union UGT has scheduled strikes for the 9th and 11th of July, with partial strikes being carried out on various days throughout the month. 

Zegona Communications completed its €5 billion acquisition of Vodafone Spain earlier this month. Since then, the new owner has announced plans to cut around 1,200 jobs, just over a third of the Spanish operator’s total workforce. 

According to local reports, Vodafone Spain cited “economic, productive and organizational reasons” for the job cuts, related to “the strong financial and commercial deterioration” of the business. As a result, the new owners view the cut as necessary to “guarantee the viability and competitiveness of the business in the future”. 

This explanation was rejected by the Spanish union, however, which said “we understand that it is unjustifiable that Vodafone-Lowi-Zegona would cause economic losses that were known and could be confirmed in the due diligence prior to the purchase to destroy the future of 1,198 families.” 

The UTG also attacked the Spanigh government for its “passivity in approving the sale without taking into account the possible negative impact on employment.” 

“The viability of Vodafone Spain is called into question if it intends to maintain and improve the quality of the network through job destruction. What an oxymoron,” said the union in a statement. 

The Spanish mobile market is notoriously competitive, with Vodafone struggling to hold its own against market leader Movistar and its newly merged rival MasOrange. Vodafone itself had hoped to be the focal point of market consolidation, but this plan was abandoned after the announcement of the Orange and MasMovil merger in 2022.  

Since that time, Vodafone Spain has seen its results continue to dip, most recently reporting that total revenues were down 8% and the company has lost 400,000 customers in the last two years.
