Spring 2000, held in New York City on June 20-22. It took a first time convergence between telecommunications carriers and application service providers to bring customer awareness to the forefront. The result was both a welcome sign of maturity in the ASP industry and an uneasiness surrounding new uncertainties in the marketplace. The tone of the day and a half conference was set by the dynamic first speaker, Terry Vega, president of CyberSolutions, who announced the amount of wireless traffic is doubling every nine months.
Speed is what it is all about.
The five hundred hosting data centers in operation worldwide will be supplemented by a thousand Cyber carrier centers, Vega announced. CyberSolutions' parent company, Lucent Technologies, a sponsor of the conference, is building and linking Cyber data centers to their network infrastructures and offerings that bundle to multiple ASPs. CyberCarriers permit multi-communications to travel on one fiber. Herein lies the capability for voice and video to be delivered through applications across the Internet. We have technologies that are making it more viable costwise.
