Doug Wenzlaff of Solarus, a Wisconsin-based Independent Telecom provider, talks about the the "cool factor" at the 2008 IP Possibilities conference in Chicago. The long-term implications of Wenzlaff’s comments are that independent telcos will need to concern themselves with style as much as substance. This is a preview of the type of programming that will be seen as we bring ViodiTV to next week’s WSTA conference in the Dells.
Telecom @ NAB was exactly what the name implies – the convergence of telecom and video. The panel, Telecom Broadband Video Deployments – Real World Experiences, exemplified Telecom @ NAB. Kyle Thomson of Motorola moderated this panel that featured independent telco leaders discussing the challenges and opportunities they face when deploying a video product. Hear from Gene South of Lakedale Communications, Jim Rennard of Canby Telcom, Justyn Miller of KCTC (Kalona Tel) and Scott Sandall of D & E in this brief overview video of a very informative panel. Unfortunately, the audio for this piece was captured via an external camera microphone, so the quality isn’t what it would be had it been picked up directly from the mixer board. Note, the first 5 seconds or so of this video is an advertisement for Kasenna’s upcoming webinar, Scaling Your IPTV Service Delivery.
This is a summary video of some of the things that are on ViodiTV and the Viodi View for the period from 3/28/07 to 4/11/07.
