EU regulators approve DigitalBridge's acquisition of County Broadband, clearing a path for more fiber internet expansion.

The European Union has approved a company merger that will allow for more investment in fiber internet infrastructure. This means more areas can expect faster and more reliable internet connections as companies build out their networks.

This decision signals that the EU is likely to continue approving mergers that consolidate broadband infrastructure providers. This could lead to faster build-out of fiber networks in underserved areas, but also potentially fewer choices for consumers in the long run. It's a data point in the ongoing trend of infrastructure consolidation across Europe, driven by the need for significant capital investment to upgrade networks.
