Extreme Networks CEO Touts 'Ethernet Everywhere' in Forbes/Telecosm Keynote Speech
OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR - news) CEO and President Gordon Stitt outlined his vision of ``Ethernet Everywhere'' at the prestigious Gilder/Forbes Telecosm Conference 2000 that begins today in Lake Tahoe.
Using as a metaphor, a successful strategy to win the 100-meter dash by simplifying the way the race is run, Stitt explained how Ethernet too simplifies the way networks operate. ``Although many people scoff at an Ethernet Everywhere scenario, it is the technology that will get us to a world where data is the dominant network traffic, which industry analysts predict will be within the next year.''
In its fourth year, the Gilder/Forbes Telecosm Conference attracts top executives from technology and telecommunications companies, technology investment organizations and senior public policy officials. This year's conference, entitled After the Flood: The End of Bits per Second, focuses on the changes taking place as the world moves to an all optical network.
