I am attending an interesting event sponsored by Calix. The topic is municipal FTTP. All of the sessions are discussions, not presentations, with topic experts and municipal network operators. I was able to lead a discussion on building community support for FTTP. I have also attended sessions on RFP writing, organization development, network services and working with incumbents.

I have learned that Tennessee communities are going gangbusters in deploying FTTP and doing it successfully. There was great interest in the work that Blandin Foundation continues to do on building demand.

More later.
