They will focus on topics such as:

• How does a company get started deploying a private fiber network?
• What is the payback model for a build versus buy strategy?
• Learn how incremental cost per Mbps of bandwidth is impacted (i.e. margin cost versus incremental cost)?
• How is network reliability affected once a private fiber network is deployed?
• What are the challenges and opportunities of owning and operating a private fiber network?

Networking will begin at 5:30 PM and the panel will kick off at 6:30 PM.
