The conference sessions at this year’s Metro Connect in Miami had a great mix of speakers and topics ranging from regulatory issues to mergers and acquisitions to basic business and technical challenges facing service providers and metro operators as they interconnect with each other. For our company, it was our first year sponsoring and exhibiting. Last year, we audited the event and came away believing Metro Connect was one of those rare “must do” events due to the promise of meeting with so many top executives throughout the industry.
