All Fixed Wireless Operators and Vendors,
The Service Provider Summit planned in Orlando on March 23rd to the 25th is building momentum nicely. The event will be held at the Sheraton Orlando North (Reserve <http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1101289 095&key=27BB2> Rooms Here). To register to attend the Summit, go to http://fispawispaspring2011.eventbrite.com. The early registration price is $159 for WISPA or FISPA members. That deadline is February 15th when the price increases to $199. We have negotiated Free Internet and Parking at the Hotel and in the Exhibition and Conference Area. Current Vendors who have committed are Exalt and Dish Networks as Platinum Sponsors, Streakwave and CTI as Gold Sponsors, Surplus Wireless Gear and Redline as Silver Sponsors and Lorex, Connectronics, Ipifony, Hughes Satellite, FaxBack, Telx, Freeside and Agile Network Builders as Exhibitors. There are many more that plan to exhibit and we expect to sell out all exhibit space shortly. We have put together a very good agenda and continue to refine it daily. We have Keynotes presented by Corey Potts of VoIP Innovations (also GlobalPops), Brian Worthen of Mammoth Networks (proficient in fiber, wireless, DSL and telco circuits), Bob Cannon from the FCC (often called the WISP Hero at the FCC) and an excellent Wireless operator in Florida, Dustin Jurmin of Rapid Systems. Other topics that will be covered are: * Usage Based Billing * So You Want to Become a CLEC? * USF Reform * TV Whitespaces Live Demo * Complete Hosted VoIP Implementation * Finance, Funding and Fortune * Secondary Markets in Licensed Spectrum * The Cloud is NOW! * RUS Broadband Loan and Grant Programs * Regulatory Creep * Backhaul: Fiber vs. Wireless, Unlicensed vs. Licensed * Exit Strategies * Common Legal Challenges * Legislative Roundtable * Sales Management * How to deal with Increased Regulation * What's Coming Down the Pipe - How to Deal with Netflix? * And more * ISP-CEO Roundtable (always the event not to miss!) We have also put together 3 three hour workshops on Wednesday Afternoon. These workshops are excellent training sessions and will be well worth the $40 additional charge. The trainers will be putting a lot of extra time and research into their programs, thus the extra charge. CLEC Strategies, Turning Wireless Magic into Wireless Science and VoIP and Hosted PBX Workshop. Make sure an book your spot when you register for the event.
