Your New Destination for IP/Broadband Video  

The FCC acted on video franchising and the Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is available for download. 

The future of telecom is VIDEO and you must deliver video if you expect to compete.  Learn more about the video marketplace at NAB2007…and specifically at Telecom@NAB2007.  Your competitors (cable and satellite) are already there.  As you deliver video…your company will become more and more like a broadcaster…it makes sense for you to also be there. 

Today’s telecom network operators need a video platform to succeed.  Telecom@NAB2007 brings together carriers to explore content creation, acquisition, management, protection and distribution.  NAB2007 is the proven destination for content professionals.  And Telecom@NAB2007 puts the focus on your IP/Broadband video business. 

Here are just a few reasons why Telecom@NAB2007 is the must-attend destination for carriers:

 It’s about Digital Video Technology

• Every year content production professionals convene at the NAB show to explore the latest equipment, techniques and services.  As a telecom carrier you compete in the video business so shouldn’t you be there too?

• Discover exhibits where you can see and touch the latest in content creation and manipulation technology.  

• The Telecom Supplier Showcase features the technology you need to see in an environment conducive to learning and networking.

It’s about Learning

• Participate in sessions and workshops where you leave with a better understanding of what your competition already knows.    

• Plan to leave with the technology, insight and contacts necessary to successfully launch and grow an IP/Broadband Video business. 

• If you want to carry local TV stations then you need to learn about broadcaster regulations including retransmission consent and must-carry.

• Take advantage of side-by-side comparisons, shoot-outs and demonstrations of the broadband video ecosystem.

 It’s about Networking

• Telecom@NAB2007 is for carriers who are eager to deliver video over next generation networks. 

• Network with other service providers and technology suppliers, including local broadcasters eager for partnerships. 

It’s about Business Ventures with Local Broadcasters

• TV stations are the experts at local content – they have lots of it.

• Broadcasters know how to sell local advertising – set up joint sales agreements.

• NAB2007 is THE place to develop broadcaster/telecom partnerships.

Your competitors have been going to NAB2007 for years.
