If you’ve been reading the blog lately, you’ve probably picked up that I’ve been collecting advice for the newly named Minnesota Broadband Task Force. It’s a testament to the effort and previous task forces that busy people have been so generous with their time. We’ve heard from Mike O’Connor and a conversation with Rick King and JoAnne Johnson.

I was also able to catch up with Brent Christenson, who, like JoAnne, served are the original and second Broadband Task Force. I was able to meet with Brent in New Ulm. I think he offers good advice both as a former member but also as someone who is out on the frontlines talking to providers on a daily basis.
