probably because they were stingy with their free tickets. I didn't qualify as a carrier because I mainly do wholesale... Glad I didn't miss anything.

It would be nice I only ever attended one in person and pretty sure I mainly went for the snowboarding.

Maybe Isohorns will sponsor it....

I vote for an AFMUG. Has to be Jan or Feb though so I can write off the ski trip. I just attended Connected America here in Dallas and I can count on one hand the actual carriers (fiber or wireless) that showed up and three of those were because I gave them tickets. Almost every attendee was a consultant or "engineering" firm helping people deploy fiber. If only we had that many "engineers" helping when fixed wireless started, we might have better networks. Not putting down the entrepreneurial spirit of our industry, but coming from cellular, I can certainly say that there are a lot of poorly deployed networks out there. Notice I didn't say designed? The shoestring budgets and stubborn "I can do it all" attitudes don't help. I've been guilty of it myself, no doubt. A good old AFMUG with worthwhile topics and presenters with real world expertise and experience  would be a fun and welcome event. Did I mention there could be skiing as well?

            and it's been at least 10 years since I've seen any of you
            IRL.

                    I remember going to Animal Farm and listening to
                    crazy (not!) Doug Clark warn that the Internet
                    would change from the information superhighway to
                    the entertainment superhighway and things would
                    never be the same. Maybe he was a time traveler
                    from the future sent to warn us.  Or a terminator
                    sent to kill Reed Hastings before it was too late.

                    I don’t remember if we called it streaming then. 
                    20 years ago if someone said they were streaming,
                    we would reply “Huh?”

                    10 years ago we didn’t have “devices”.  5 years
                    ago we didn’t use the terms “WFH” or “RTO”.  And
                    the world wasn’t obsessed with “AI”.
