USVO sponsored the title panel at last week’s Telecosm conference at Lake George New York. The panel discussed the coming Exaflood- a George Gilder coined term that anticipates that by 2015 traffic on the internet will multiply fifty times.
The panel was set up by Andrew Odlyzko, Digital Technology Center, University of Minnesota, who presented measurements of current demand that questioned the Exaflood’s premise.  This led to a lively discussion that fed well into USVO’s message that the motion picture industry has immediate need for more bandwidth, and the security strategy that will let it turn that bandwidth into high value transactions.
The USVO team then had a forty-five minute breakout opportunity to discuss the value proposition that USVO represents.

The highlights of the overall conference were many, but the level of economic analysis, technical insights, and revelations in a wide variety of technical and investment areas was world class, and it was a major landmark in the company’s evolution to be marketing at this level. We were in great company.

My favorite statement from the week- Steve Forbes in his keynote said “economics is making scarcities into abundances.”
