AT&T is looking to expand its fiber reach in both its legacy wireline footprint as well as in new markets being targeted by Gigapower, its fiber-focused joint venture with BlackRock. AT&T said it plans to reach 50 million-plus total locations with fiber by the end of 2029. About 45 million will come from "organic deployments" alongside more than 5 million through Gigapower and other agreements with open-access providers. AT&T recently forged deals with four open access partners: Boldyn Networks, Digital Infrastructure Group, Prime Fiber and Ubiquity. AT&T's big goodbye to copper is also on tap. The company now expects to retire its legacy copper network operations across the "large majority of its wireline footprint by the end of 2029."
