CES 2007 was an overwhelming conference, because it represents a crossroads for the different technologies and services that have traditionally come from disparate industry segments. This is a great place for an independent telco to learn about the unforeseen competitor or partner. As Gary Johnson of Paul Bunyan Telephone stated in an email to me,

“I think every one of our peer companies should have a representative there. I can’t think of a better place to get a true sense of what consumers are doing with the services we offer, as well as truly understand where our industry is going”
