2030. Our anchor tenant across 174,000 towers, Reliance Jio is the largest mobile network operator in India and is owned and controlled by Reliance Industries Limited, one of the largest companies in the country.

Our Australian data distribution business is a market-leading constructor, owner and operator of fiber infrastructure and a provider of value-added telecommunications services in identified profitable niche markets. The business is the largest privately owned FTTP infrastructure owner and operator in Australia. The business constructs, owns and operates the fiber infrastructure for property developers, property owners and/or building managers and seeks to build this infrastructure across all property asset classes with a focus on greenfield property developments.

Our semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the United States are intended to produce leading-edge semiconductor chips which will serve as the digital backbone of the global economy. An increased emphasis on supply chain resiliency, geopolitical risk, and the increasing demand for leading-edge chip technology have catalyzed the onshoring of semiconductor manufacturing capabilities. Our semiconductor facilities will be jointly owned and funded with Intel and be a part of Intel’s integrated Ocotillo manufacturing campus in the State of Arizona which covers approximately 700 acres, making it one of Intel’s largest chip manufacturing sites in the world.

Our U. S. fiber business will leverage our experience as a global developer and operator of best-in-class data transmission and distribution infrastructure to identify attractive markets and efficiently develop open access fiber networks while minimizing construction and operating risk. We are working with an internet service provider (“ ISP”), which will serve as the anchor tenant for commercialization of the network in the initial markets. We anticipate that our long-term network utilization will be driven by a combination of our U. S. fiber business typically being the sole fiber broadband provider in each expansion market and expanding our relationships with scaled ISPs.
