Fibrecity Holdings was formerly owned by i3 Group and was acquired in a Management buyout in January 2011 by CityFibre Holdings Ltd because of the scale and value of the fibre to the home network already built in Bournemouth, currently the largest in the UK. i3 Group launched Fibrecity Holdings as a new high speed fibre optic infrastructure to be built in the UK and was also promised for overseas cities and metropolitan areas. It was said to provide connection speeds of 100 Mbit/s to homes, SME's and educational facilities on the network. The network uses 'fibre to the home' (FTTH) technology. The infrastructure build was started by i3 Group in Bournemouth in 2009 and this was to become the UK's first Fibrecity. The next UK Fibrecity was announced to be Dundee where work on installing the infrastructure was reported to have started in summer 2010. i3 Group announced but ceased involvement with a Fibrecity project in Brisbane, Australia. ==Investigation== In late October 2010 the build suddenly ceased in Bournemouth and also in Dundee only shortly after works had started in the Scottish city. Revelations about the financial backing behind H2O Networks (another i3 Group company) were released in February 2011. Total Asset Finance, the backers, are now subject to an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office and, allegedly, currently owe KBC Bank over £130 million. Over £90 Million of this is apparently related to loans being used to finance H2O Networks.〔(VRL Finance )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fibrecity Holdings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
