Omaha-based Boston Omaha Corp., through its St. George-based subsidiary FIF St. George, has completed the acquisition InfoWest Inc. and Go Fiber LLC fiber and fixed wireless Internet service providers also located in St. George. The InfoWest and Go Fiber businesses together provide high-speed Internet services to over 20,000 customers in Southern and Central Utah, Northern Arizona and Moapa Valley, Nevada.
“Our partnership with Boston Omaha will dramatically accelerate our fiber expansion within our current markets and into new communities,” said InfoWest co-founder and CEO Kelly Nyberg.
InfoWest and Go Fiber equity holders will collectively have a 20 percent initial ownership stake in FIF St George, a new entity formed by Boston Omaha for purposes of completing the acquisitions. Boston Omaha intends to make significant additional capital investments to fund FIF St George’s fiber-to-the-home expansion, Nyberg said. Key members of the executive teams of both InfoWest and Go Fiber will remain to continue guiding the company in the next phase of growth.
Co-CEO of Boston Omaha, Adam Peterson, said, “The InfoWest and Go Fiber teams have built robust networks capable of scaling within and outside of their current footprints. Additionally, their history of delighting customers by providing exceptional service made these businesses a natural fit into our fiber-to-the-home strategy throughout western rural communities and beyond.”
Boston Omaha’s other fiber providers include AireBeam in Arizona, Utah Broadband in Northern Utah and Fiber Fast Homes in Jacksonville, Florida. Boston Omaha is a public holding company with four majority-owned businesses engaged in outdoor advertising, surety insurance, broadband telecommunications services and asset management.
