What Prime Fiber does
Prime Fiber (legal entity Flying Bull Internet) is a wholesale, open-access fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure provider headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Founded in 2023 and backed by InLight Capital, the company is a sister entity to retail ISP NOVOS FiBER and operates as a separate wholesale brand building and owning fiber networks that it leases to internet service providers and carriers on long-term contracts. Its flagship disclosed customer is AT&T under a 2024 Florida wholesale agreement, positioning Prime Fiber as an anchor-tenant-driven dark- and lit-fiber developer rather than a retail broadband provider.
The company builds multi-gigabit-capable XGS-PON fiber networks and has deployed more than 800 route miles of fiber, with concentrated investment in Southwest Florida (including Golden Gate City and San Carlos Park) and announced expansion into Arizona across Sun City, Peoria, and Phoenix. Prime Fiber partners with COS Systems for its Wholesale Engine OSS/BSS platform, which automates ordering, provisioning, and service management for multiple ISP tenants on a single physical layer, supporting the open-access wholesale model.
Prime Fiber's revenue model is wholesale capacity leasing on long-dated contracts to large carriers and ISPs, complemented by shared back-office functions with NOVOS FiBER to control G&A. Capital structure as of late 2024 consists of a $75 million debt facility with a $175 million accordion feature, primarily funding network construction. With 11-50 employees and a buildout still in progress across Florida and Arizona, Prime Fiber is in an early commercial ramp phase, with revenue concentrated around its AT&T anchor and dependent on additional tenant signings and Arizona market activation.
