So here we are at the start of another NXTComm. Just getting set for a typical tradeshow schedule, which means that from now until about 9pm I will be in meetings, learning about what's hot and what's new in the world of telecom. As you see in the accompanying picture, the TMC booth is already abuzz with briefings ahead of the official show opening time of 10 am local time here in Vegas. That's right, Vegas. For the fourth time this year. And let me tell you, it's hot. 100+ degrees, and that persistent hot desert wind. Thank goodness for air conditioning and water! In any event if you want to keep up with the latest happenings and big news emanating from the event this week, I urge you to check out our NXTComm news coverage page on TMCnet.
