Charged and ready? - Comunicano Speakers & Listeners

Supercomm claims to be charged and ready to discuss all things broadband –a slightly different message than the show sent last spring after it was postponed to October 21-23. Back then, Supercomm event director Ron Matthews said the date change was an effort to take advantage of opportunities from the $7.2 billion broadband stimulus bill and the stimulus award schedule.

Although the timing was pretty good, there seems to be a disconnect between the conference program and companies that are actually receiving stimulus money. Big guns from Verizon, AT&T and Qwest Communications are keynoting, but those companies turned down stimulus money and aren’t likely to focus on the stimulus package.
