NXTcomm

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) said, "NXTcomm, is the new industry event uniting the premier information and communications technology suppliers with the world’s leading communications and entertainment companies." This conference was the first and Chicago was the luck city to host this prestigious get together. The feedback I got and from what I read, this was an excellent conference and it is a pity that I missed this conference.

A few Canadian companies participated and believe it or not our own Michael Sabia was a keynote speaker at the conference. In fact, Fobes refer to Sabia as the “...an industry visionary for global communications." I am sure about the global presence of Bell Canada, with the exception of its large infrastructure (BellGlobal) as part of the Internet Backbone.
The main topics of the conference were: IP Services, WiMAX, IMS, IPTV, Wireless Network, Carrier Ethernet, and my favorite from Verizon FTTP, FiOS. The NXTcomm group refers to it as FTTx.

What I do know is that it matters not, if it is ‘P’ for premises or little ‘x’ for cabin, cottage, condominium, castle, home, mansion, and trailer...whatever! The bottom line is that I need a minimum of 15Gbps or 60Gbps in my home.
