They don't actually lay any cable though, nor do they build their own network. They have been acquiring other telecoms at a brisk pace for 15 years as the industry consolidates. (They are debt heavy, especially for a European company, and this upcoming IPO is a 20% sale to grab more capital, riding the wave of recent market bullishness for U.S. telecoms.) Not sure if any of us network engineers will like them in 2 - 4 years - but you're a business consultant seeing this from a different perspective. ;) -- Regards, S.C.
