ViodiTV has provided exclusive video coverage of the OPASTCO events since 2006 and, in that time, we have interviewed and been inspired by leaders across a wide variety of fields. 2010 will be no exception, as the Convention features an excellent program with speakers who will motivate, educate and demonstrate techniques that will help independent telecommunications companies thrive in a broadband world. 

Watch the video above to see how ViodiTV provides a sort of living history of the OPASTCO events. This montage highlights ViodiTV at OPASTCO coverage over the years. The combination of audio and video captures memories that print and photos alone cannot match. The immediate feedback offered from viewers of the hotel channel is rewarding, but to be able to watch it years later is even more satisfying.

John Rose, president of OPASTCO, felt that he had to, “Walk the walk,” and show by example the sort of world that is available today to the customers of the Telcos. With the help of his son-in-law, Rose created a home entertainment and communications network that allowed him to cut the cord from all but his broadband provider.

While not for the technical-neophyte, Rose’s idea of getting services via over the top methods will be commonplace in the not-too-distant future. Watch this video to see John’s suggestion for how a Telco can simplify the Over the Top experience for the customer and return to a world where a telco is involved in the sale and service of CPE.
