FibreLocator, vice president Mile Iapalucci, said: “FiberLocator users are generating an increasing request volume for UK-based fibre connectivity, and launching in the UK will open up many exciting new opportunities for us.
“On the one hand, we see increased US demand for UK fibre. On the other hand, there is a rich and diverse fibre ecosystem in the UK. Our goal is to be the bridge between UK supply and US demand, and we’re already in the process of signing up our first suppliers.”
CCMI president, David Liggitt, added: “With the increased expansion of UK data centres, proximity to fibre is more important than ever for data centre users and operators.
“This represents a fantastic opportunity for UK providers, and we’re thrilled to share our services with the market.”
