Please join NTGTS for its Monthly Program on Thursday, September 18, 2008 at The University of Dallas, Frisco Campus, 7460 Warren Parkway, Frisco, TX.  The program will run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Central.  NTGTS is pleased to host a special joint presentation on, "Entering the Era of Everything Over Broadband" by Stanley L. Kroder, Ph.D., Associate Dean, Graduate School of Management, University of Dallas, and Robert A. Mercer, Ph.D., President, Broadview Consulting.

 Today's "triple play" of voice, Internet, and video services is rapidly becoming just one aspect of the growing reality of Everything Over Broadband (EoB)-that is, the provision of services of every kind over a ubiquitous IP-based broadband network.  In the EoB space, there is an amalgam of transport facilities, customer premises equipment and networking, applications software, and content that enable not only the existing triple play services, but also a dazzling array of potential new services.  Join the presenters as they provide a technology and business perspective on the players and their strategies, status, and prospects in each component of the EoB space, and survey the exciting new services that are now appearing.
