Go back go back over there So but no it was a it was a really really great event a record-breaking attendance event from what I understand Obviously I was on site doing jctv live videos. I also got a chance to moderate a really really cool 5g panel specific to 5g implementation even more specifically 5g implementation as it relates to getting broadband access To those who may not have it at all or may have kind of crappy broadband access So it was a really really cool panel. So again to capacity media Thank you very much for having us and for all of those folks who I got to interview while on site in Fort Lauderdale Thank you all very much great conversation We're actually gonna get a chance to hear about some of the news that we that we scooped so to speak while on site on This very fast for a video.

And and by the way guys, that's that's we got scooping headlines. We got over 50 companies reporting their headlines on JSA TV in the last four weeks. So kudos to our whole video team here Supporting this. This is incredible. Very very exciting. It's so so appreciated such a huge team effort That's exactly how it felt to me Jay I was telling telling you about this just last night But at any rate with all of them with all of the the the scoops that we had There's a lot to talk about today. So let's go ahead and dig into this month's fast-forward review Yes, yes, yes today. We're bringing you the headlines from the world of tech telecom and Data centers and new for us. We're doing it jeopardy style Yep, we're going to take turns giving each other trivia questions where the answers will be hints for this month's big New stories and announcements and we are going head to head. Jamie. Are you ready? Oh? Dino, I was born ready And you know what you are going down my friend, you know, I know that that's a line either one of us We're born ready for this, but here we go anyway My trivia specialties are in 90s rock as you know and British automobiles So let's see if any of that nonsense comes in handy here So sure, but I think I appreciate your optimism so so I'm feeling the confidence of someone who doesn't really have What to expect going forward so Jamie, why don't you go ahead and burn us off? We only have like we have separate scripts here guys, so we have questions no answers So my my question to you do do do I don't know you know the Japanese theme song I should the cartoon character is a child, but it is known for being very wealthy the cartoon character Scrooge McDuck. Oh, you mean who is Sorry Dean the wrong answer Correct the answer is Richie Rich. Oh Scrooge McDuck, I would have said that one too. All right, so we're talking rich because rich communications services net number announcing a new riding service based around which communication services RCS, so they're calling it our CS routing service letting operators and providers Identify phone numbers that are enabled with rich communication services to enhance their delivery See how we're doing this now. This is gonna Not a not a strong start for Dino, but I will come on strong that much I can almost not guarantee you Here's one for you Jamie name one of the two NASA space shuttles that was destroyed in a disaster. Oh Oh Well, I gosh, I remember when I was a kid They wheeled the TV out in a cart in the hallway and you all sat In Indian Cross style and watched the Challenger that was so sad as the first teacher in space So Challenger, I don't know. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Challenger. Well done Challenger in 1986 and the other was Columbia in 2003 and the reason I'm going to jump right off of this topic because who wants to talk about that? But the reason that we're talking about disasters is because our friends at in Volta and I just spoke to them Just the other day and Volta have launched an all new disaster recovery package. It's going to be interesting to you, Jay It's called disaster recovery as a service Plus and it's a multi-tiered service model with flexible consumption options They're hoping that it'll provide an even better service for clients with even better protection against stuff like cyber attacks and natural disasters Here's what was really interesting to me about this, Jay Is that a lot of folks will wait until that disaster has happened to be like, oh crap I should have done something well this tiered disaster recovery as a service is a way for them to do something Right away and kind of dip their feet into disaster recovery before that disaster happens. So very very cool stuff I love that. I love that. I love a disaster recovery as a service plus well done. Well done and well done. All right Next ready for another jeopardy question my friend.
