If CL allowed Fibernet to lead network rather than lightower it would have been more successful.

Ironically Sunesys was told by Crown that they would be in charge of fiber until the Lightower acquisition. They had some ethics at least. Was a very highly regarded company that was super selective with their staff.

The lightower network is so good that no one wants it. Or maybe it's just the people they don't want.

As a member of the OPs team, these posts make me laugh. The bubblegum fibernet network was built with no regards for the customer and was a glorified cable network. Meanwhile the Lightower network you all speak so negatively of was built to service customers like the NY Stock exchange and other huge enterprise customers. If Lightowers network is sold separately its only because that's where the value is.

FN was acquired by Crown prior to the Lightower merger, and many in FN's management, lacking prior acquisition experience, were eager to secure promotions within Crown. Instead of effectively presenting their case, they capitulated to Lightower’s demands, which ultimately set the stage for a culture of cutting corners. (CLLI codes, Property Mgt approval, naming convention, capacity, to name a few)
While it’s challenging to place all the blame on Lightower, a solid case and a review of industry standards could have led to a middle ground that served Crown and ensured a smoother transition. Now, we face a complete failure that may result in both FN and Lightower being sold again, highlighting a troubling pattern and a significant breakdown in strategic alignment and decision-making.

Wasn't that decision made before he got here? FN was here for years before LT, right?
