Internet Infrastructure AMAA (ask me almost anything)

Dark fiber is fiber that isn't in use; either the fiber was never activated because it wasn't needed after it was installed, or it was previously live but has been deactivated since. Lots of fiber was put in place during the dot com boom for needs that never materialized, or by competitive providers who went bust, or to provide additional capacity that didn't turn out to be needed because of advances in transceiver technology (getting more bandwidth out of the existing fiber links). Hooking up your equipment to dark fiber is cheaper than building your own, but of course it needs to go where you need it to go to be useful. -

I strongly suspect Sprint is planning a similar deal with SoLinc that they cut with CSpire around Memphis: some sort of spectrum arrangement that gets Sprint more bandwidth in Atlanta and Birmingham in exchange for divesting/subletting some rural spectrum elsewhere in the SoLinc footprint, with a commitment that SoLinc will do a rural buildout on Roaming+ terms and provide CDMA 1X fallback using Sprint's band 26 holdings. Sprint then pulls down the rural 3G-only sites left over from the affiliate networks (like those on the I-16 and I-22 corridors) and relies on SoLinc coverage instead, only keeping the towers that are already upgraded and replacing the relative handful of GMOs in the more urbanized parts of the SoLinc footprint. That would give SoLinc a lot more bandwidth to play with in rural areas Sprint never will build out in its own, perhaps to do fixed wireless internet, VoIP/VoLTE, and video as part of a quadruple-play with electricity service. Option B would be to Shentelize everything in the region except maybe Atlanta/Athens... SoLinc owns the whole Sprint network in their footprint, sells service under Sprint's name, etc., and inherits the Sprint customer base in the region to pay for the LTE rollout using SoLinc's existing infrastructure (backhaul, easements, etc.) as much as possible. Enough bandwidth on ESMR to roll out three 3x3 LTE carriers, since you can squish together their internal guard bands, plus 1.25x1.25 1X Advanced, plus a ton of bands 25 and 41 for capacity in urbanized areas. The resulting network would probably stomp both Verizon and AT&T, to say nothing of T-Mobile.
