AT&T and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock, Joint Venture Scales Open Access Infrastructure Nationwide
DALLAS – August 28, 2025
What’s the news?
Gigapower, a commercial wholesale fiber broadband network provider, announced that it has completed significant expansion of its footprint and is now offering select communities greater access to its multi-gigabit platform. Over the past two years, Gigapower has connected dozens of municipalities to high-speed broadband across six states.
In its mission to meet the critical need and demand for broadband connectivity, Gigapower’s open access network is now available in:
- Florida – Greater Orlando and Panhandle Area
- New Mexico – Albuquerque
- Pennsylvania – Northeastern Area
- North Carolina – Greater Charlotte Area
- South Carolina – Greater Charlotte Area
- Southeastern Minnesota – Southern Minneapolis
Why is this important?
Gigapower builds commercial open access networks that offer choice and competition for businesses and residents in the areas it serves. The platform is designed to support multiple internet service providers (ISPs), resulting in a “build it once” construction event. This model enhances network efficiency, accelerates time-to-market for ISPs, and provides greater flexibility for end users.
“At Gigapower, our mission from day one has been to deploy scalable, future-ready infrastructure that expands access and choice for communities,” said CEO Bill Hogg. “Through the hard work of our team, contractors, as well as with the collaboration of local community leaders, we are making rapid progress towards our goal. Gigapower is in an ideal position to enter more markets and bring connectivity to more communities.”
Gigapower is focused on its commitment to reach 1.5 million fiber locations nationwide. This open access expansion translates to more choices for residents—supporting economic development and narrowing the digital divide in underserved areas. The company will continue to work with ISPs to deliver reliable internet access to individuals across the country.
About Gigapower:
Gigapower’s commercial wholesale, open access platform enables internet service providers and other businesses to access its multi-gig fiber network in select metro areas throughout the country.

With Gigapower, AT&T — one of the largest investors in fiber in America — and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock — one of the largest investors in infrastructure — have come together through a joint venture to deliver access to super-fast, reliable, high-capacity fiber to more communities.
