Whether the global economy continues to show mixed signals or not—the strength of our financial model and profit generation serves us well." John Chambers, chairman and CEO, Cisco    11-Aug-10     "Mobile telephony has grown phenomenally, and as we approach the 5 billion mark for mobile subscriptions later this year, it is considered to be the most rapidly adopted technology in history," ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré said as he addressed the closing session of WTDC-10. "Yet, the digital divide remains — particularly where accessibility to broadband services and the Internet is concerned. This broadband divide must be addressed by governments and industry as a priority if we are to fully utilize the capacity of ICTs to meet the Millennium Development Goals." Hamadoun Touré, ITU Secretary-General    04-Jun-10     "The National Broadband Plan demonstrated that the U.S. is lagging globally in broadband, and that rapid progress is essential to our global competitiveness and to U.S. world leadership in innovation in the 21st century. The National Broadband Plan also demonstrated that there’s no silver bullet to achieve these goals -- indeed, that many key rules and policies will involve the 'blood and guts' of broadband deployment. Our Order today is in this category -- I believe it will yield real results for real people: faster, cheaper, and more widely available broadband." Julius Genachowski, FCC Chairman    20-May-10     "With the anonymity of the Internet and the evolving threat landscape, people and organizations are struggling to maintain confidence in the security of their interactions, information and identities online. At the same time, people’s personal and professional lives have converged and they want to use their various digital devices to access information wherever they are without jeopardizing their privacy. At the same time, IT is faced with the challenge of giving users the appropriate access, while ensuring that corporate data is not at risk. We believe the solution to this dilemma lies in the ubiquity of identity-based security." Enrique Salem, President and CEO, Symantec    19-May-10     "Companies today are more mobile than ever, traveling to clients, working from remote locations, using devices to communicate while on the move, and wirelessly connecting devices to each other. With millions of workers now using smartphones, netbooks and rugged devices, and with multiple industries now adopting machine-to-machine applications, we see a tremendous opportunity to bring the power of our networking expertise and assets to help companies everywhere 'go mobile' by mobilizing their business processes to take advantage of real-time information and transactions to do business more efficiently and productively." Ron Spears, President and CEO of AT&T Business Solutions    17-May-10     "Our financial results were outstanding, achieving record level revenue and earnings per share results. We witnessed a return to strong balanced growth across geographies, products and customer segments that we haven't seen since before the global economic challenges began. We emerge from this downturn gaining market share, a larger share of the total wallet spend of our customers, dramatically improved customer relations as a trusted technology and business partner, and having next-generation products in almost every product category. It is clear that our game plan for how to handle economic downturns is hitting on all cylinders." John Chambers, Chairman and CEO of Cisco    12-May-10     "While the data boom is finally upon us, the viability of the business has eluded most – operators have become increasingly preoccupied with the associated high costs of data delivery versus the lag in expected revenues. Our study proves that success in mobile broadband can deliver efficiencies – radio access networks can enable sustainable, cost-efficient broadband offerings to subscribers by leveraging existing base station sites to their fullest capacity." Marc Rouanne, Head of Network Systems, Nokia Siemens Networks    11-May-10     "With IP traffic on the Verizon network growing year over year, 100G is critical to continuing to satisfy customers' demands, which drive the capacity requirements of our core network. Verizon has already deployed 100G on a segment of our European network, and trials such as this allow us to refine relevant technologies and push 100G closer to widespread deployment."
