Industry analysts and the convergent network

The annual Sun Analyst Summit took place this past week at the St Regis hotel in San Francisco. This is
another great opportunity to share our vision, strategy and most recent successes with the analysts from Gartner, IDC, Yankee, Forrester, Tower, and other firms covering the telecommunications and media industries. One comment I've heard a few times during the 1-on-1's was: "Sun, you have a great story, you need to tell it more!". So here's the 30 seconds message.

As we are entering this new age of participation, Sun is innovating to enable service providers to acquire, retain, and monetize subscribers in the converged network world in three different ways:Sun's innovation with Java on the client side is increasing the consumption of IP based services and content (>700M Java phones in 2005, OCAP's recent announcements, HANA, OMC, OSDP).And now for something completely different and for those who missed them: all the Superbowl Sunday commercials will be re-broadcasted on Sprint's mobile network.
