Inter-capital fibre optic networks
This week TPG outed plans to build a fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) in major Australian capital cities for a phenomenally cheap price. Today, it’s doubling-down, revealing what it wants to do with all that sexy spectrum it bought in the Digital Dividend auction. The AFR reports that TPG will use its new spectrum to build a 4G broadband data network in city areas. TPG Network. We own and operate our own information super highway with our submarine cable system between Australia and Guam, allowing us to terminate traffic into the USA and Asia. 400+ Locations. We own and operate our own information super highway with our submarine cable system between Australia and Guam, allowing us to terminate traffic into the USA and Asia. TPG has an extensive global network and long-standing, on-the-ground presence in critical markets. TPG has built a strong international presence with 17 offices worldwide. We were one of the first U.S.-based private investment firms to establish significant operations in Asia and Europe, in 1994 and 1995 respectively.  The NBN is all about scale and Teoh has ensured that TPG will be well positioned to take on Telstra following the purchase of iiNet at a 30 per cent premium. It will have 1.7 million broadband subscribers. The first thing TPG will do to cut costs will be to shift as many of the iiNet subscribers as possible to its own network. Mike Henshaw at Petra Capital says about 267,000 iiNet subscribers are on Telstra networks. TPG owns end-to-end network infrastructure which includes over 400 DSLAM enabled telephone exchanges across Australia, extensive inter-capital and metropolitan fibre optic networks, and the international PPC-1 submarine cable connecting Australia and Guam with onwards connectivity to USA and Japan. Having acquired AAPT in February 2014, TPG has added inter-capital fibre optic networks to its infrastructure assets which further enhance its position as an increasingly major force in the Australian telecommunications market. Its ownership of its own network means that it does not have to worry about offering subscribers unlimited download capacity. Henshaw says it is almost certain TPG will use its network to offer iiNet customers a better-quality service, while at the same time delivering cost savings. He says it would not be unreasonable for TPG to cut iiNet's total annual expenses of $850 million by at least 7 per cent. The first thing TPG will do to cut costs will be to shift as many of the iiNet subscribers as possible to its own network. Mike Henshaw at Petra Capital says about 267,000 iiNet subscribers are on Telstra networks. The TPG business model is quite simple. Own as much fibre and telco infrastructure as possible, in order not to have to deal with Telstra or share its network. That is combined with some of the lowest prices in the market and constant marketing spend.
