Dutch operator Eurofiber announced a new long-term bank loan to finance its further growth in the Netherlands and Belgium. The EUR 195 million loan was agreed with Dutch banks ING, Rabobank and ABN Amro. The operator last year acquired investment group Doughty Hanson as its majority shareholder, while Reggeborgh still owns 20 percent. It has since continued to expand its fibre network, helped by the takeovers earlier this year of Unet, Isilinx and IsiConneXion. The company provides dark fibre links, Ethernet services and optical transmission over DWDM up to 800 Gbps, over a 14,000-km network.
