Great Plains Communications has entered into a definitive agreement with American Broadband Holding Company dba Fastwyre Broadband to acquire Fastwyre’s business in Nebraska, which serves more than two dozen communities. GPC said will upgrade and integrate the newly acquired Fastwyre business, enabling both residential and business customers across these Nebraska communities to access advanced fiber-driven services.
“Our vision has always been to expand our fiber network throughout the Midwest and beyond, and acquiring Fastwyre’s Nebraska business is a strategic milestone in that journey,” said Todd Foje, CEO of Great Plains Communications. “This acquisition strengthens our position in key markets, opens new opportunities for growth and builds on our 115-year history as a trusted technology partner in Nebraska.
Nick Wilkin, Chief Financial Officer of Great Plains Communications, added: “The financial strength of our company allows us to pursue strategic acquisitions like this while also funding the critical network upgrades that Nebraska homes and businesses need. We are well-positioned to integrate these communities seamlessly to bring GPC’s customer-first service to Nebraska Fastwyre customers. We are also excited to welcome over two dozen Nebraska-based Fastwyre employees to GPC.”
