In Mr. O'Brien's presentation he will attempt to sift out a lot of the hype that surrounds the opportunities in Broadband Services and give attendees some clear advice on what to not to do, when looking to invest in Broadband, and isolate some key areas in these complex markets where the real opportunities exist.
