Marc Ganzi needs no introduction in this journal. The serial digital infrastructure investor and operator recently announced that his Digital Colony venture had not only reached agreement to acquire Zayo, and their 130,000 route miles of fibre in North America and Europe, for US$14.3bn, but also closed its first fund, Digital Colony Partners, with more than US$4.05bn in commitments. Alan Burkitt-Gray, Editor-at-large of Capacity, a sister publication of TowerXchange, recently caught up with Marc who generously shared his provocative and exciting vision of digital infrastructure.
