DATA CENTERS
French Telecommunications Infrastructure — In 2015, we acquired an interest in TAF, the largest independent communication infrastructure business in France, which serves the media broadcasting and telecom sectors. With 7,000 towers and rooftop sites and 5,500 km of fiber backbone, TAF is a utility-like infrastructure asset with high barriers to entry. Its growth will be driven by continued site deployments by mobile network operators responding to rising levels of mobile data consumption.
