State of Telecom is always a blockbuster, and this year is no exception. In 2012, as the WCIT approached, the focus turned to OTT video (see archive) - primarily business models and policy, SOT2013 embraces and extends that to all cloud-based rich media, and the stress they put on networks. It is evident that the boffins at CITI see this as the critical issue for the future development of the telecom industry. The afternoon panel with Susan Crawford, Stephen Conroy, and Henning Schulzrinne is not to be missed. joly posted: "Today, Thursday September 26 2013, the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) will host State of Telecom 2013 at Columbus Business School NYC.
