Last year's Headliner: Oprah, The Cable Show 2011

‘Tis the season for tradeshows and Eyeball Networks begins the spring run May 21-23 at The Cableshow 2012 in Boston, MA.

The Cableshow is 61 years strong (has cable really been around that long? Well, yes it has!). The show is home to everything cable including stars, exciting new content and the challenges that are defining the future of the cable industry. This years speakers list boasts notable names such as Motorola Mobility’s lead IP architect Gerard White, Verizon Wireless President & CEO Dan Mead, and of course, the ultimate cable funnyman, Conan O’Brien.

Hot topics this year will be the continued explosion of mobile devices, the internet and the challenges (and opportunities) they both pose to the traditional cable industry. Expect focus on newcomers to the market, how they are changing the competitive landscape, and how incumbents are working to enhance and roll out new services for their customers.

Along with the growing demand for on-the-go content, service providers should be looking for new ways to bring enhanced connectivity to their subscribers. (We thought you’d never ask) Eyeball’s Messenger SDK lends itself to several possibilities, such as subscriber to subscriber chat features on mobile devices for armchair coaches to debate the live game, or chatty viewers of The Real Housewives of Vancouver to scrutinize whatever outrageous thing Jody just said.

Whatever network providers come up with to enhance their service, Eyeball will be there with carrier-grade voice and video quality, and guaranteed NAT traversal to complete the offering.

We’re looking forward to being there seeing all the show has to offer. Make sure to come visit us at booth 2066 for a chance to win a BlackBerry® Playbook™!
