Atlanta Telecom Professionals Talk Last Mile16 January 2005
"We are a community organization," said Melanie Bass Brandt, ATP
president. "Though our roots and constituents are local to Atlanta, our Last
Mile Alternatives event provided an opportunity to bring together our
community to help those in need half a world away."
The event, attended by 179 telecom professionals, featured a panel of
heavyweights discussing last mile connectivity alternatives from fiber to
wireless. Panelists included Bob Landstrom of Home Depot, Neale Hightower of
BellSouth, Wade Robertson of Xspedius Fiber Group, Carl Peede of Camvera
Networks and Mike Henderson of StayOnline.
"We were honored to be a part of this event," stated Hunter Newby, Chief
Strategy Officer, tel(x), and event moderator. "ATP's decision to donate 100
percent of the proceeds highlights ATP's dedication to the community
at-large."
tel(x) established the Telecom Industry Tsunami Relief Fund to provide the
industry with a coordinated method of contributing to the efforts of Direct
Relief International, a non-profit organization providing medical aid and
supplies to those devastated in the recent earthquake and resulting tsunamis
in Southeast Asia.
