Go BCE
I'm sure the Big Communications Event was great with the things they have to offer like IOT etc. So continue to offer many things for us and them.

Re: Go BCE
@clrmoney, and with vision and application solutions, such as AT&T's, it advances the use, solutions, and development of communications and new dimensions that can be developed and better utilized.

That is the value of these events is "converging" the knowledge and advancing the technology use.

BCE Keeps Austin Awesome
The BCE event in Austin did indeed sound awesome. A keynote given by Light Reading's founder Steve Saunders kicked it off, which is cool. I think Facebook's Telecom Infra Project (TIP), with its focus on global connectivity, is right on target.

Re: BCE Keeps Austin Awesome
I'm very bullish on the propsect of these low broadband devices. There are so many things in this world that can be turned into data seeking sensors. This is what's going to happen when it comes to IoT. It's only a matter of time.

Re: BCE Keeps Austin Awesome
@dcawrey, I think you are absolutely correct on the expanded capabilities that low broadband devices represent.  I believe, like with the development of PC's increasing the use and applications of computer technology, lb devices and IoT will expand the networks.

Note:  That along with the chicken fried steak Adi mentions.

BCE
The BCE event looks like it was a great event. It had a pletora of experts discussing different technologies and solutions. I would love to attend the event next year.

I see that AT&T and Nokia won multiple awards at the Light Reading awards ceremony.

It would be great if all of these companies collaborated to develop new products and services and standards.

BCE Event
It is great that this will lead to options to offer low broadband devices and connectivity to develop better solutions and provide better services.

These events provide a method to share knowledge and lessons learned so companies can captilize on the knowledge and develop better solutions and save time on R&D.

Simplification of the customer experience
I think Aamir Hussain hit the nail on the head with his comments on simplifying the customer experience. Faster, simpler, more streamlined experiences will help drive adoption and spend and cut churn.

Re: Simplification of the customer experience
@Adi: Indeed, one television executive I recently interviewed spoke about how OTT has become an "anti-churn" service -- acting as more of a loss leader than anything else at this still relatively nascent stage.

It is the land of Chicken Fried Steak, so the combination is almost traditional.
