Making a Difference

Of broadband technologies. For some, broadband represents only a small part of their business. In making these selections, we considered how important they are to advancing true broadband rather than how important broadband is to them.

As in previous years, the key tiebreaker question was this: Will this company make a difference in the fiber broadband industry in the coming year? To put it another way: Would the industry suffer if this company did not exist? Judge for yourself.

Let us know about organizations – large and small – that you think might make a difference a year from now. Your nominations have led us to a number of companies we might not otherwise have known about.
