The Information: Nvidia proposes Apollo convert Brightspeed buildings into ~1 GW inference network

Per The Information (11/05/2026), echoed by Yahoo Finance: Nvidia approached Apollo Global Management about turning Brightspeed telecom buildings (Apollo-backed ISP, >130 sites, reported near bankruptcy) into a network of small inference data centers across up to ~20 US states. Portfolio with about 1 GW of available power. A written proposal was sent to Brightspeed on Wednesday (11/04); staff discussed retrofit with Vera Rubin racks in Q1/2027. Described as an 'inference network' (not large-scale training). No official statement from Nvidia, Apollo or Brightspeed — this is a report, not a corporate confirmation.
