Those OTHER upcoming April Vegas events

Life after CTIA? Yes, really. Two more telecom-related events will be happening in Las Vegas in April, with Fierce editorial staff in attendance.

Representatives from upwards of 200 carriers will be in attendance at MetaSwitch Forum, say promoters. Editor-in-Chief Doug Mohney will be moderating the "Video Poker: What's Your Strategy for IPTV Success?" panel on Thursday, April 9, at 9:15 a.m.  Dale Merten of Toledo Telephone and Brandon Zupancic with Canby Telephone will be presenting their experiences rolling out IPTV; he'll also be able to talk to folks from April 7-9.

Two weeks later, Mohney and Associate Editor Pete Wyle return to Las Vegas for NAB's shin-dig and will be in town April 20 and 21.  Pete is coordinating editorial meetings at NAB, so email him at pwylie@fiercemarkets.com if you are interested in briefing.
