Roger Bindl interviews Adrian Collins, CP Technologies, at the WSTA 100 Year Annual Convention. We learn about bend insensitive fiber – how fiber connectors react to extreme hot/cold – and their LevelOne IP cameras for consumer to enterprise applications… handy products for keeping an eye on remote locations and activities.
Howard Sherpe of Vernon Telephone Cooperative tells how local content on local TV is a great marketing tool. There is a social networking element to local content where people want to see and hear local people, to watch local events, and to get the local channel. It's the most popular channel out of over 100. Howard provides background on how they're able to fill a big part of the day with special programing, provides examples of what they have, and what the #1 program is.
