In this episode of the Broadband Bunch, host Pete Pizzutillo sits down with Ronan Kelly, Managing Director of AllPoints Fibre Networks in the UK. Ronan shares his 30-year journey through the broadband industry—from the early days of dial-up with U.S. Robotics to leading innovative fiber deployments across Europe. The conversation explores the consolidation of UK alt-nets, the creation of AllPoints Fibre's wholesale-only model, and the launch of their new Aquila platform, designed to provide a marketplace for ISPs and streamline integration through standards-based APIs. Ronan highlights the challenges of scaling fiber networks, managing technical debt, and why automation and vendor-backed solutions are critical for long-term sustainability. Looking ahead, Ronan offers insights on the role of AI in telecom operations, the importance of embracing change, and how UK market lessons could apply to the U.S. broadband landscape. His reflections on legacy, leadership, and building resilient infrastructure provide valuable takeaways for operators, technologists, and policymakers alike.

Ronan Kelly asks people what they think of AI
The lads are back in the studio and delighted to welcome back Ronan Kelly of All Points Fibre Network. APFN is a UK wholesale fibre provider, so they start by finding out more about the company and how it fits into the broader market. Discussion turns to the broader economics of fibre and the UK's very competitive environment before they eventually turn to the perennial topic of ‘fair share' contributions to network costs by US Big Tech and conclude with a Scott rant about the Online Safety Act.
