Demand-led build & ISP onboarding
- Demand aggregation: pre-registration and community liaison
confirm take-up appetite before civils commence, protecting penetration
economics. - Municipal engagement: early, structured wayleave applications and
rapid-deployment compliance to compress the sector’s most common
delay. - Deployment mix: aerial where poles and permits allow (faster,
cheaper), trenched where density and regulation require — mirroring
Vumatel’s dual approach. - ISP ecosystem: onboard 75+ ISPs with standardised wholesale
contracts, self-service provisioning APIs and equal-access SLAs to drive
competitive retail pricing and fast penetration. - Anchor tenancy: pursue municipal, enterprise and public-Wi-Fi
anchor contracts to underwrite route economics in marginal
areas.
Go-to-market in fibre is really capital-deployment sequencing.
Because EBITDA is below capex in every plan year (see figure), the pace
of the build is constrained by funding availability, not by demand. The
plan’s discipline is to build ahead of demand only where
pre-registration justifies it, and to phase capex so that the
second-round debt close (month 26) lands before the balance sheet is
exhausted.
