Market announcements from new fiber provider Brightspeed continue to roll, with the company setting its sights on a substantial buildout in Missouri as its latest target. The company said it plans to reach more than 130,000 locations across 19 counties in the state by the end of 2023. That figure is set to jump to more than 310,000 by the end of its five-year build plan. At least for its initial build, projects will span Boone, Carroll, Cass, Cedar, Dent, Gasconade, Howell, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Lawrence, Marion, Moniteau, Nodaway, Oregon, Phelps, St. Charles, Texas and Wright (MO) counties. The announcement makes Missouri the third largest build target for 2023 that Brightspeed has announced to date. The operator previously stated it is aiming to reach 300,000 locations in North Carolina and 170,000 locations in Ohio next year as it strives for a total of 1 million locations reached in 2023.
