    The Blackstone Group is Hotwire Communications’ newest backer.

    The private equity giant (NYSE: BX) announced it made an investment in the Fort Lauderdale-based internet provider through funds managed by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities and Blackstone Infrastructure Partners.

    Hotwire Communications, founded in 2000 by Michael Karp and CEO Kristin Johnson, is a leading fiber optic internet provider across Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. Blackstone aims to respond to the surging demand for high-speed internet as more consumers add connected devices – such as smart security systems and smart refrigerators – to their homes.
