In pursuit of ubiquitous broadband: Connecting with burning souls in Minnesota

We sometimes hear the term “burning soul” in connection with big goals. Big goals need burning souls—people who are passionate about the goal; good at articulating why you should be, too; and willing to put in the hard work to achieve the goal. Take ubiquitous broadband, for example. People who read Telecompetitor tend to share this goal: to get high-speed broadband to as many people as possible in order to better peoples’ lives. Some people who share this goal are what I would consider burning souls. I had a chance to connect with some of them at an industry event in Minneapolis last week organized by optical fiber manufacturer Clearfield.
