Key risks (from latest filing)
["Intensifying broadband competition from cable overbuilds, fiber competitors, and satellite/wireless providers in ~30% of incumbent service areas and across all Glo Fiber markets; potential margin pressure from price competition","Secular decline in video subscribers from cord-cutting trends and over-the-top streaming services; ongoing contraction in legacy access lines and DSL subscriptions","Execution risk on Glo Fiber expansion strategy; significant capital expenditure requirements expected to exceed operating cash flow through 2026, with uncertain timeline to positive free cash flow; dependence on pole attachment coordination and locate services that could delay deployment"]
