Tellabs' Pullen talks TIA, Net neutrality

Rob Pullen, who became CEO of Tellabs earlier this year and is also chairman of the Telecommunications Industry Association, one of your co-hosts for NXTcomm next week in Las Vegas, will head a press conference at the show intended to outline how the TIA is leading the telecom industry in new directions.
