 TA's
"Members Choice" Award Winners Announced!
With great fanfare and a 21-gun salute, TA announced the winners of TA's
4th annual "Members Choice" Awards. All 3,200 TA members were invited to
cast votes and 322 ballots were accepted and counted. What resulted from
over four months of nominating, voting and counting was the selection of
the Top 10 vendors in 20 fresh industry categories. Click the image below
to view a printable image of all the winners. As previously announced, for
the next year, TA's vendor directory will first list these award winners
in "vote count order" for the directory's 20 industry categories.

March Monthly Survey: Telecom Industry Trade Shows
Since we have 3,200 of you all wondering what
each other is thinking, we decided that the time is right to tap that
talent and have you all share with one another (anonymously of course)
what you really think about "this, that & the other".
The survey topic for March 2009?
"What are your anonymous thoughts on our telecom industry
trade shows?"
To take the survey, look
in your email inbox. It should arrive between Noon & 1pm Pacific time,
Friday, March 6th, 2009. The "from" is "TA Monthly Survey" and the "subj"
is the question you see above. The survey will close at 5pm PST next
Wednesday, March 11th. The survey results will be published in TA's member
newsletter next week.

Shout Out to
MegaPath, Our first
newsletter sponsor
If you watch the video above, at the end you'll see Dan's wearing a
MegaPath shirt (a really nice one, too!). So we thought it would be fun to
have different vendors sponsor our weekly newsletter & video blog by
wearing on of their shirts. If you want to sponsor a future weekly
newsletter & video blog to get a "shout out", Dan wears an XL.
(We didn't tell MegaPath in advance that they're getting
our very first shout out but we will so we can shout them out even better
next week.) |
