Driving the New Era of Competition: VoIP, WiMAX and Beyond

With the recent changes in policy, TA96 has quickly become a relic from a distant competitive telecom memory. For those who can lead the industry forward, a bright future including VoIP and wireless services awaits. No other provider has seen more than Covad on the competitive front lines or proven itself more broadly as a resilient, visionary force to be reckoned with in our industry. How will we drive our businesses forward in this new era? What are the biggest opportunities for our industry and the customers we serve? We'll take a look at where Covad believes the industry is headed, the strategy and key components of success in this new era of competition.
