Keynote interview on Digital Infrastructure in North America

Our partner and Head of Digital Infrastructure Kanan Joshi is featured in a keynote interview in Infrastructure Investor magazine.

“Everyone wants a strong broadband internet connection, and people in rural areas especially do not want to be left behind.
