          Speakers

          Conal Henry, Founder and Chair, Fibrus Networks

          With much of the available debt in the UK being hoovered up by those with the strongest rollout and customer numbers, capital availability continues to significantly impact UK altnets. In a rash to become cash flow positive, how are operators implementing new strategies to stay afloat amidst the difficult conditions, and which are working? This panel will hear from altnets on scaling back their build, focusing capital on winning customers, or strategic M&A plays.  How will the Telecoms Access Review (TAR) impact pricing for the altnets? Will the UK government have an increased view on M&A?
