ViodiTV at OPASTCO 2010 was brought to your by Cronin Communications, Extreme Networks, and OmniTel.
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.

Thank you to the following sponsors for their support of ViodiTV's coverage of the 2010 OPASTCO Summer convention.
The Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association (WSTA) celebrated their 100th year at the annual convention in Lake Geneva this summer. The opening video in this player provides an overview of the conference including the kick-off, 100 year documentary, keynote speakers, breakout sessions, exhibit interviews, new officers, and awards. The playlist of video's includes full interviews and past event coverage.
The 100 year documentary traces the first phones in Wisconsin (1877 with business to home), to the first switchboards (1878), the expansion of phone companies as the Bell patent expired (1893), the formation of the WSTA (1910), rubbernecking, social networks, and advanced telecom services that started as community based and continue as community based businesses – contact WSTA for a copy.
ViodiTV at the WSTA 100 Year Annual Convention was sponsored by CP Technologies and Solarus with additional support from HEM Productions.

ViodiTV at MTA was sponsored by the MTA Associate Members.
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.
