Opening Remarks
KEYNOTE PANEL | PARTNERING WITH HYPERSCALERS: AN OPEN CONVERSATION
There is a disconnect between the needs of the cable companies and the needs of the hyperscalers when it comes to approaching a new project. Cable companies are in a situation where they need investment to build a cable, and the hyperscalers have established business needs which aren’t addressed. How can companies approach the conversation in a more constructive manner? The panel will discuss their experiences and needs when it comes to approaching this conversation.
