Consolidation is reshaping the UK altnet market. The harder question comes after the deal closes: integrating legacy networks, unifying the BSS/OSS stack, and keeping service delivery intact while you do it.

Adam Puckett is heading to Mountain Connect. Denver, August 10–12.
The BEAD era is ending. Margins decide who survives next. The tooling you run broadband ops on decides those margins.
COS Systems is one platform for every stage of broadband ops: demand aggregation, sales, provisioning, billing, service management. One system instead of six.
Still stitching operations across disconnected tools? Talk to Adam.

We're happy to be part of Broadlinc's mission to connect the communities that private investment won't reach on its own.
Spokane County had more than 24,000 underserved addresses in 2024, fifth in the nation. Broadlinc, the Spokane Regional Broadband Authority, was formed specifically to close that gap: public infrastructure, ISP partners delivering service on top, hybrid fiber and fixed wireless deployed where each technology fits the terrain.
COS Business Engine will run their operations as they bring those homes online, with connections expected before end of year.

Today, access to reliable broadband isn’t a luxury; it’s an essenti...

AT&T. Verizon. T-Mobile. The Tier 1s are driving open access adoption in the U.S., and the economics are forcing the conversation.
COS Systems CRO Isak Finér told Fierce Network last week:
"Open access is expanding like wildfire, and it's driven by the Tier 1s. If you've built a network and you have a 30% take rate, the economics aren't great. And if someone is coming in and building another network on top of it hoping to get 30%, that's going to be very difficult. Instead of overbuilding and wasting money, people are understanding it makes more sense to share this infrastructure."
Most of our customers today are in the U.S. and Canada. We're watching this shift happen in real time.

Open access fiber has a standards problem. Every time an ISP joins a new network, both sides rebuild the integration from scratch. Billing, provisioning, technical interfaces, all custom.
That's why COS Systems and AT&T are co-leading the Open Access Network Forum, housed within ATIS, to change it. The goal: a unified spec covering the business, operational, and technical requirements for ISP onboarding across North America.
Our CEO Mikael Philipsson, vice chair of the forum, put it plainly at Open Access Day 2026: if every ISP integration is bespoke, you don't have open access. You have exceptions.
Broadband Breakfast covered the full discussion from Fiber Connect. Free sign-up gets you full access.
