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 … Read more
Alec Saunders has a daily webcast/podcast using the iotum Facebook Conferencing platform his company, and client, iotum built as a proof of concept.

Coming roughly a month after eComm, Telco 2.0 is the big company perspective of what’s changing, while eComm was all about the emerging start-ups.
