Challenges and Strategies in Rural Broadband Industry Acquisition

In the episode of Acquisitions Anonymous, Heather and Bill discuss a rural broadband provider in Utah. The company is listed for $3 million with $340,000 cash flow and claims to offer cheaper infrastructure. However, the hosts express skepticism due to emerging competition from Starlink and uncertainty about government subsidies. They question the business's scalability and suggest it may be better suited for acquisition within a roll-up strategy. Overall, they highlight the risks and challenges in the broadband industry, emphasizing the importance of customer acquisition and regulatory factors.
