Raf Meersman quote on IQGeo IQ industry chat

Back in the late 90’s the telecom industry was focused a lot on the development of a backbone network. We here at Comsof switched pretty quickly, around 2004 with a full focus on fiber to the home, so, the access part of the network, and that was really because we saw that was where the big challenge for the next decade of this industry would come from.
