T-Mobile US commits $2.7 billion to two FTTH joint ventures

T-Mobile US said it will invest $2.7 billion in two fibre-to-the-home joint ventures to expand its fixed broadband footprint in the US. The company also introduced a Starlink backup option for business customers as part of a broader push in fixed connectivity.

The announcement covers two new FTTH joint ventures and a business backup service using Starlink satellite connectivity. The source report states the total planned investment at $2.7 billion, but it does not provide the names of the joint-venture partners, the number of homes passed, launch dates, pricing, or the specific business service terms in the excerpt provided.

The move places T-Mobile US deeper into the US fixed broadband market, where mobile network operators are adding alternatives to traditional cable and fibre offers. T-Mobile US has already built a fixed wireless access business, and this expansion adds FTTH infrastructure exposure and a satellite backup option through Starlink for business continuity.
