Morning all, Craig McGlashan here with the Europe Wire from the London newsroom.
Tech infrastructure is the focus this morning as we take a deep dive into DTCP investing in a data center developer and Arcus Infrastructure Partners buying a fiber-to-the-home company.

OK that’s a wrap from me. Nina Lindholm is filling in on the US Wire later today while Michael Schoeck is on holiday, then Irien Joseph will be in the Europe chair tomorrow morning as usual.
Cheers,
Craig
