A personal invitation to the Oregon Connections Telecommunications Conference

Posted on by richb

You may have stumbled across Agate Beach on your way to Newport, but it’s easy to pass through with hardly a glance. However, on October 16th, every telecommunications and Internet luminary in the state will show up to hear from one of the guys who can truly call himself “one of the fathers of the internet.” Vinton Cerf, co-designer of TCP/IP, and long standing Internet evangelist, will present the keynote presentation at this year’s Oregon Connections Telecommunications Conference www.oregonconnections.info. Vint will also participate in a panel addressing Oregon’s Broadband policy. Representatives from the public and private sector organizations from around the state, including yours truly will discuss the matter.

This session leads a 1-1/2 day event that explores a variety of telcomm and Internet issues affecting the state. Anyone can attend, and it’s a great way to learn more about what’s going on and network with folks that you might not otherwise have easy access too, in a relaxed setting.

I hope to see you there.

Welcome to EasyStreet’s new blog

Posted on by richb

Rich Bader here. As EasyStreet’s President and CEO, I have the privilege of writing the first entry in our new company blog. I hope to be a frequent blogger here, and to share and comment on some of the “bigger picture” stuff happening in the IT world that affects EasyStreet and likely your organization as well. Stuff like epidemic power consumption, what it means to “go green” or how to balance technology advances and costs.

We also intend to have many other blog contributors, including folks from Customer Support, our Engineering and Operations team and the Network Operations Center. They can offer useful, obscure and sometimes curious technological insights at a much deeper level than I can.

So enjoy. Engage. Comment. Share. Most of all I hope this new blog will be of continued interest and use to you.
