Session Abstract:
Carrier hotels provide a secure location for the interconnection of telecom networks. Traditional carriers, wireless providers, cable/ MSOs, content providers and enterprises rely on these facilities to expand the scope of their networks through interconnection. Carrier hotel value is directly derived from the occupants and the location relative to key demand points.

Key discussion points include:

• How is the role of the carrier hotel changing with facilitation of enhanced services within its facilities?
• How is the proliferation web enabled content changing demand for carrier hotel space?
• As carrier hotels within major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and London fill up, what are carrier hotel providers doing to satisfy growing demand in a world of limited capacity?

Join us to learn how the carrier hotel world is changing and evolving as new user demands are placed on networks.
