These conferences are an excellent opportunity for technical people, policy makers and advocates to get together and discuss issues of mutual concern.

In 1998, Canada s telecom regulators ordered cable TV operators to let their cable modem customers use any Internet service provider. Since then, the affected industries have worked with Cisco Systems to develop necessary technology for this innovative policy.
