Telecommunications transport is a commodity service product. Consumers can choose from a range of technology platforms, providers, and price points. At the same time, industry-specific needs for handling communications have emerged due to legislative, regulatory and corporate decisions. How can service providers connect the various technological components to create robust and cost-effective private central office network options that respond to different demand side sectors?

Roundtable participants will represent both the supply and demand sides of telecommunications. They will discuss their strategies for meeting requirements, including: security, archival, retrieval, cost, and performance. The moderator and participants will include:
