Mergers and Acquisitions
Let's take your business to higher ground.
Founded by Paul Spurgeon in 1996, Nations Media Partners has specialized in advising legacy communications companies and communications infrastructure companies on mergers, acquisitions, valuations and financial advisory. Thirty years later the sectors have changed — fiber has replaced copper, and data centers and the power behind them have become communications infrastructure — and our practice has moved with them.
We are experienced experts in our market sectors and well known for our tenacity. We do not give up on closing a deal for our clients, no matter how long it takes or how many obstacles we encounter.
Sectors Covered
WE KNOW YOUR SPACE
Fiber
ILECs and CLECs still control most rural FTTP and FTTH. Underfunded systems are beginning to trade, and operators under 500,000 passings are the targets.
Data Center
Independent data centers in secondary and tertiary markets, and the cloud and AI buyers now entering them. Power decides the price.
Wireless
WISPs, communications towers, spectrum, and indoor and outdoor small cells — repriced by the FCC's reopened auction pipeline.
Regional Carriers
Middle-mile routes, wholesale relationships and enterprise fiber: we understand the factors that create market value for regional carriers.
Design, Engineering & Construction
Service business values remain at an all-time high, driven by IIJA- and BEAD-funded build activity. Buyers pay for backlog and crews.
Power & Energy
Data centers could draw up to 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028. Generation, interconnection and powered land now trade as infrastructure.
Unprecedented Velocity.
Impeccable Reliability.
