Invitation from LR: As an industry professional, you may be interested to know about an upcoming online event being presented by Light Reading (www.lightreading.com). Entitled "Economics of Ethernet," this free Web seminar (or "Webinar") will evaluate the latest developments in this critical market. Ethernet has unquestionably proven to be the hottest telecommunications technology topic of 2002. That's hardly surprising, since it brings the same benefits to carrier networks that have already made it the standard for building enterprise networks: ubiquity, interoperability, low cost, and high performance. But there's a problem: How can carriers and service providers make money from Ethernet? After all, the technology was developed to provide enterprise companies with a way to cost-effectively move information - not to generate revenues. Fortunately, more than 50 companies are now working on solutions that allow service providers to have their cake and eat it too, by developing systems, components, and software that allow carriers to deploy ultra-reliable Ethernet networks (metro or access) for their customers, provision services over them, and make money from those services. This Webinar will: -Examine the business case for Ethernet services, including potential return on investment and payback periods -Employ specific, real-world deployments and hard numbers -Explain and analyze the networking technology that service providers need to make dollars and cents from Ethernet bits and bytes. Join us on Thursday, November 21st, at 11:00 a.m. PST / 2:00 p.m. EST, for this live Webinar sponsored by Cisco Systems, Ericsson, and Internet Photonics.
