FFB Wk 26 – Fiber Builds Value: Turning Connectivity into Revenue Along Michigan’s I-75 Corridor
June 25 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am
In February 2025, Michigan reached a major broadband milestone with the completion of a 130-mile fiber route from Southfield to Bay City, led by 123Net. This critical infrastructure runs through key communities along the I-75 corridor—including Pontiac, Fenton, Flint, and Saginaw—boosting access, improving reliability, and unlocking new business opportunities.
For property owners and developers, fiber is no longer just a utility—it’s a competitive edge. With 90% of renters rating high-speed internet as essential, properties with fiber connectivity can see rental rates climb by up to 8%, while property values rise by an average of 2.8%. In short, fiber doesn’t just connect—it adds real, measurable value.
Join us on the next episode of Fiber for Breakfast as Chuck Irvin, Chief Revenue Office (CRO) of 123Net, sits down with Gary Bolton, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, to discuss how this investment is laying the foundation for a more connected Michigan—and how it’s opening doors for increased Net Operating Income (NOI) and long-term growth.
Whether you’re in broadband, real estate, or anywhere in between, this conversation will show you how fiber infrastructure is fueling more than fast internet—it’s driving profitability.
