From Colby Syneasel SVP Equity Research - KBRO
We will be hosting our first annual Technology Trends conference on January 12th at the InterContinental Hotel in NYC. The conference will consist of nine thematic panels that our analysts have come up with that we believe represent key trends that will be of interest in 2010. My panel is entitled "Bandwidth: The Increasing Value of Fiber" and will include management from several companies mentioned in our recent report Rise of the Horizontally Aligned Fiber Company - A Newly Defined
Panel: Bandwidth: The Increasing Value of Fiber
Overview: During this panel we will help define the differences between various forms of fiber and their consequent value, including routes (metro vs. regional vs. long-haul), locations (residential vs. enterprise vs. data center), and services (dark fiber vs. private line vs. Ethernet). We will also more broadly discuss some of the drivers for bandwidth growth including increasing low latency requirements, use of online video and storage/SaaS/cloud computing, as well as the necessary requirements to provide fiber-to-the-tower backhaul.
