Anchor contract
partially de-risks
ROI
Contract-based, shared infrastructure model
Anchor contract: 5 - 20 year agreement for initial fibre network
covers 50 - 100% of build costs, but uses less than 5% of the network capacity
Upsell: Local Authority Upsell: Businesses & Mobile Upsell: Consumer FTTH
Contract and network grows
as more public services are
added: schools, NHS, council
sites, CCTV etc.
Incremental networks growth
for significant returns by
targeting close proximity
mobile masts, data centres
and SMEs
ISPs take CityFibre to the
home as consumer media
suppliers need faster internet
speeds to sell

Progressing towards a highly scalable footprint
• CityFibre’s approach is gaining support from many large consumers of infrastructure, across all market segments
• Our 5 current projects provide an addressable footprint of >500,000 homes
• Anchor opportunities are accelerating; Local authority & government support is increasing
Indicative: Assumes typical UK city with 100,000 homes, 7,000 businesses and 500 public sector sites
200 mobile cell sites per city, (small cells at 3:1 ratio of macro cells)
