Speakers:

Paul Carew, Chief Technology Officer, General Bandwidth

    Monday, January 15th, 10:15 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.
    Eliminating Barriers to Broadband Deployment

    Paul's presentation will specifically discuss Remaining Technical
    Issues Prior to Widescale VoDSL addressing the following
    questions:

    1.  Why is management a barrier?
    2.  What is flow-through provisioning?  And, why is it a
        significant problem?

Robert Lesieur, Product Marketing Manager for EMS, General Bandwidth

    Tuesday, January 16th, 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m.
    Service Management: Challenges of On Demand Delivery

    Rob's presentation will outline the requirements for integrated
    EMS with existing NMS systems at the top level, and then dive into
    the specific issues associated with a management system that
    enables provisioning of services as they scale. With VoDSL, the
    density of the lines managed will go up a factor of 8 for each
    loop. That density drives the need for an EMS and NMS that can
    scale to handle that quantity of virtual circuits, from a
    provisioning, fault and performance perspective.

Shannon Pleasant, Director of Corporate Communications, General
Bandwidth, and Paul Carew, Chief Technology Officer, General Bandwidth

    Wednesday, January 17th, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
