About the IP Possibilities Conference
NTCA and OPASTCO have teamed together again to deliver the most talked about IP conference. Broadband services are poised to overhaul the way your customers will communicate. To remain relevant, you need to leverage the best research and experience the industry has to offer. IP Possibilities Conference & Expo delivers a hard-hitting, comprehensive forum specifically for rural telecom executives to take your mastery of the broadband debate to a new level. Decide if an IP network fits into your long-term business strategy and how that decision will affect your profitability. Are you ready to take the next step?
Be informed. This two-day conference will invigorate your company with a new strategy for success:
| Evaluate technologies, regulations and analyst reports that will impact your bottom line. | |
| Identify lessons-learned from current IP deployments. | |
| Collaborate with manufacturers and service providers on next generation solutions. | |
| Network face-to-face with industry experts and your fellow rural providers. |
Choose the best track for your current involvement, or mix between tracks to deepen your knowledge base. Conference sessions are divided among three key tracks that mirror the stages of deployment:
| "Build It": Build your IP network. | |
| "Fill It": Fill your IP network with applications. | |
| "Bill It": Make money on your network and applications. |
NTCA and OPASTCO thank the 2010 Steering Committee for their help and support with IP Possibilities Conference & Expo.
