T-Mobile and investment firm KKR have formed a joint venture (JV) to
acquire fiber service provider Metronet.

The fiber provider reaches over 300 communities and more than 2 million
homes in 17 states. Metronet is both a pure-play fiber company and
independent FTTH operator. In some markets, Metronet delivers
residential speeds up to 5 Gbit/s.

The acquisition includes Metronet's broadband infrastructure,
residential fiber business operations and existing customers.

[Discussion: T-Mo appears to be expanding into FTTH ISP operations
seriously, nominally providing some competition to Verizon and Comcast.
But will they end up tacitly not-competing with each other by carving
up geographies?]
