Dean Bubley in his post about one of the presenters summed it up best about the first day speakers at Telco 2.0.
History.
It follows up on his earlier post about seeing the same presentations as he did before. I tend to agree.
On the other hand, the people in the room are many of the telco economy big company decision-makers and are very prideful of their accomplishments. And they should be.
Maybe given how much early data and intel folks like Dean and I amass over the course of our year we have to be a tad more forgiving. You see, one man’s history is another man’s new idea in some companies and many of both of them are presenting to those who find it all “new.”
