Data Wants to be Free

High quality Digital Infrastructure assets are amongst the finest economic engines in the modern world. Public companies around the globe develop, build, buy, own, and operate these assets.

We want broader coverage, faster speeds, higher security, and more reliability. Technologies like 5G, edge storage and compute, and fiber to the home (FTTH) are just the latest incarnations of those evergreen desires.
