Dear Participant,
We appreciate your efforts and time investment to join the US-Israel Broadband Business Exchange.
Our past experience with events like this one is that the chances are much higher that you would derive tangible benefit from this business exchange, compared with the usual investment or trade conference setting. A significant amount of effort has been invested during the past few months to ensure that over a very short period of less than two days, you would have the opportunity to conduct one-on-one meetings with a variety of carefully selected broadband-related companies. You will also have a facilitator assigned who would be available to assist with follow-up communication subsequent to these meetings - an activity that often proves to be no less important than the meeting itself.
For the participating North American companies, the event offers a very efficient window of an interesting cross-section of the latest broadband technology innovations in Israel. Israel is known to be a hotbed of new technologies, and to offer a good snapshot of global innovation.
Most of the emerging companies would know how difficult it is to arrange meetings with such a premier list of prominent North American broadband companies, not to mention the effort required to get more than ten introductory meetings logistically staged in a period of less than 24 hours.
The event is attended by a variety of stakeholders in the broadband industry - technical, operational and investment. It is thus comprehensive but still focused and intimate enough to ensure that old relationships with fellow "broadbanders" can be refreshed, without a great mining effort.
It has been my pleasure to serve as Chairman of the Telecommunications Committee of the AICC, and I would like to thank both the AICC, CableLabs, and Cox Communications for the great effort invested to organize and stage such a fine event.
