Execs Turn Out in Force for TELEHOUSE's Summer Seminars as Content Delivery Theme Garners Strong Interest

Time Warner Cable, Limelight Networks and Cogent Communications Serve as Co-hosts

TELEHOUSE America's BREAKFAST ON BROADWAY July and August seminar attendance shows the series' growing popularity. Attendees filled Time Warner Cable's meeting room in July to hear Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWX) and Limelight Networks discuss content delivery's trends and the changing distribution paradigm within media and entertainment. Back at 25 Broadway in August, a full room heard Cogent Communications Group, Inc. (AMEX: COI) take up the content delivery theme with a discussion of carriers' efforts within the small-medium business segment.

Bhupender Kaul, Vice President, Time Warner Cable Business Services, spoke of the issues facing today's large content provider technologically and economically. The substantial demand for analog content and migrating users to digital, plus the call for VOD, HD, HD-VOD, interactive TV, gaming, voice, and high speed data products, coupled with their potential to alter the marketplace's content landscape, were other issues Kaul touched on. The audience also learned of TWC's substantial capital investment to upgrade their system and their ongoing efforts in that area, resulting in even better capability to deliver products over the upper bandwidth spectrums.

During the talk given by Limelight's Michael Gordon, Co-founder and Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development, Gordon focused on the direction of Internet technology and the increasing significance of the 'user experience.' Additionally, the audience heard about the quality expected by different demographics and the industry's developments to deliver it. Gordon's description of the solutions offered in broadband home content delivery led to his commenting, "The Internet has reached a point where high quality broadband media delivery and playback is a viable option for content providers from both a technical as well as a business standpoint."

Cogent's Jim Bubeck, Vice President of On-Net Sales, addressed increasing business in the SMB segment, what kind of demands they place on a network, and how different carriers can cope with those demands as SMBs increase their bandwidth needs. To illuminate these points, he commented on setting up an extensive network, building in technical efficiencies upfront to enable a balance of good ROI, high service levels and easy scalability. He illustrated how the network works, technical developments already improving latency and bandwidth capability nationally and abroad, and the best pricing approaches for different business tiers. Bubeck commented, "Building our network from scratch enabled Cogent to have the capacity necessary to provide dedicated bandwidth to each customer without oversubscription. This along with the advanced optical equipment that Cogent installed enables us to quickly react to the changing market and maintain our ROI."

Since TELEHOUSE launched its monthly seminar series, executives have reacted positively to their having a forum addressing topical industry issues in an informal, non-sales pitch environment. The co-hosts' talks consistently generate out-of-the-box thinking and enlightened discussions of issues and new approaches that presents a genuine value-add.
