Give me one reference. All I have seen is Pulver events focusing more and more on Asterisk, Mark Spencer, and the Adtran guys. Did you attend Astricon? I spoke. I saw no Pulver Media sponsored advertising whatsoever. Wouldn't they have a benner that they were "Supporting" Astricon? Final note. I did not have to pay since I was a speaker but at $500 a pop times 300-500 attendees, it is profitable. I will go with the lower 300 attendee number $500x300=$150,000. I personally think there may have been more attendees but don't have the proof. Why cut someonthing that brings in $150,000 at least in one week (minus the time and materials to get everything arranged, which hotels/conference centers are all to willing to help). >people clearly *think* >there's a connection, and that's really enough, no? No, it is not enough. A simple statement from one of the Adtran Guys, Jared Smith, or even Mark Spencer would quickly dispell this misinformation or FUD.
