TPG Capital Backs RCN's Acquisition of Wave Broadband for $2.365 Billion TPG Capital Backs RCN’s Acquisition of Wave Broadband for $2.365 billion May 22, 2017 Combination creates the sixth largest cable company in the U.S. and expands a robust high-speed broadband services platform Transaction marks third addition to the platform, following TPG’s investment in RCN and Grande Kirkland, Wash., Fort Worth, Texas, and San Francisco – May 22, 2017 – TPG Capital, the global private equity platform of alternative asset firm TPG, announced today that it is backing RCN Telecom Services, LLC (RCN), a nationwide broadband service provider controlled by TPG, to combine with Wave Broadband (Wave) for $2.365 billion. Currently owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners, Wave management, and GI Partners, Wave is a regional broadband fiber company offering a full suite of high-speed data, video, and voice services to residential and business customers. RCN and Wave will combine to create the nation’s sixth largest cable operator, with a diversified presence across seven of the top ten cities in the U.S. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2017, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Wave is a regional incumbent cable and broadband services provider reaching 673,000 homes and more than 1,800 unique commercial clients in Washington, Oregon, and California. The company has nearly 8,000 miles of owned fiber supporting its market-leading enterprise fiber business. Wave was founded in 2002 by Steve Weed, who will join RCN as a Director upon the close of the transaction. Wave will continue to operate as a branded entity, headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. “Since our founding, we have been committed to providing customers with the highest quality, most reliable, and fastest data services available,” said Steve Weed, Founder and CEO of Wave. “Over the last several years we have accelerated our growth substantially by expanding from our heritage of residential broadband services into enterprise-grade fiber. Oak Hill and GI have been outstanding partners, and we are excited that our new partners, TPG and RCN, recognize the value of what we have created. We are eager to enter our next era of growth alongside them.” In August 2016, TPG entered into definitive agreements to acquire RCN as well as Grande Communications Networks LLC (Grande) through separate transactions. The combination created a regional market leader in next-generation, high-speed data services for residential and business customers with a presence spanning the East Coast, Chicago, and Texas. The combination with Wave expands RCN’s footprint to the West Coast. “Demand for high-speed broadband services is growing rapidly as digital content continues to proliferate,” said David Trujillo, Partner at TPG Capital. “High-quality, reliable communications infrastructure is increasingly important, and the acquisition of Wave is a transformative addition that will allow RCN to provide broadband-related services in new and growing markets. We look forward to working with RCN and Wave management to serve even more residential and business customers across the country.” “At RCN and Grande, we pride ourselves on providing the best products, best service, and best value to our customers. Through our partnership with TPG, and by expanding our footprint with Wave, we have created a market-leading broadband platform with national reach, broad capabilities and expertise, and exciting growth potential,” said Jim Holanda, CEO of RCN and Grande. “We look forward to working with the Wave team to further accelerate our combined growth.” “As we continue to grow our platform, our core objective remains the same: To deliver exceptional service to our customers and outstanding results for our investors,” said Steve Simmons, Chairman of RCN and member of the Cable Hall of Fame. “This combination equips RCN with additional resources and expertise to build our business and accelerate growth.” J. Crandall, Benjy Diesbach, and Scott Baker represented Oak Hill Capital Partners on the Wave Board of Directors. Gregory VandenBosch represented GI Partners. Majority investor Oak Hill Capital Partners and GI Partners jointly stated, "We have enjoyed a tremendous partnership with Steve Weed, his management team, and the Wave employees over the past five years, and we are honored to have been a part of the company's outstanding growth story. We wish continued success to Wave under the ownership of RCN/Grande and TPG." TPG’s investments in Wave and RCN reflect its strategy of partnering with innovative companies that are at the forefront of evolving industries. For more than a decade, the firm has been focused on the changing landscape of content creation, distribution, and consumption. Select investments include global accommodation sharing platform Airbnb; leading sports and entertainment intermediary CAA; live entertainment company Cirque du Soleil; online beauty products provider ipsy; online education platform Lynda.com (sold to LinkedIn); digital apartment rental platform RentPath; music streaming service Spotify; motion picture, television, and digital content studio STX; and ride sharing platform Uber.

Internet connectivity in the US is a hot-button issue in 2017, thanks to the new FCC chairman performing an about-face on issues like net neutrality, subsidizing access for the poor, and permitting internet service providers (ISPs) to do what they please with your data. None of it bodes well. This comes as the speeds in our tests remain relatively stagnant. Despite cable companies—the major broadband providers in the US—rolling out more and more of the latest high-end modems to customers to increase speeds, and the advent https://www.pcmag.com/article/353936/the-fastest-isps-of-2017 1/21 9/4/2017 The Fastest ISPs of 2017 | PCMag.com of more and more ber-to-the-home (or to-the-premises) coverage in select areas, it's not having much impact, on average. On the world stage, the US isn't even close to the top 10 countries when it comes to average broadband speed. Maybe it's because there is far too much happening on the mergers and acquisitions end of things for domestic ISPs to even pretend to be competitive in ways that matter; you know, the little things, like speed and customer service.

  • Town of Prosper, Texas Broadband Access Assessment
    Town of Prosper, Texas Broadband Access Assessment May 2019 1 Prepared by Connected Nation Executive Summary The vision of the broadband leadership team in Prosper, Texas (Prosper) is to ensure that citizens have access to world-class broadband infrastructure in their community, and that no citizen is left offline. The purpose of the following Broadband Access Assessment is to provide an in-depth analysis of the broadband access available to Prosper citizens. From March 3-10, 2019, Connected Nation’s engineering and technical services team members worked on-the-ground to: Create a profile of the town’s broadband services. Develop an outside plant and fixed wireless map illustrating which areas of Prosper have access to broadband at 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. Identify where all copper, cable, and fiber lines are located. Identify the providers. Additionally, Connected Nation deployed a survey of households and businesses in the community to gather more detailed information on the current state of broadband in the community. Highlights from the survey appear to support the local broadband team’s assumptions that there is some room for improving the broadband landscape in Prosper: 95.7% of respondents subscribe to fixed, terrestrial broadband (cable, DSL, fiber-to-the-home, and fixed wireless). 97.5% of those surveyed indicated they subscribe to mobile service with 74% of those stating it is used as a secondary connection. On average, citizens of Prosper respondents reported paying an average of $70.08 per month for their home internet service. Remarkably, 70% indicated they were “very or mostly dissatisfied” with the monthly price of service.
