So long, Supercomm

Stuff goes here.

This year, we say goodbye to Supercomm for good as the two organizers are going their separate ways and launching their own shows. The Telecommunications Industry Association is starting up GlobalComm, which will be held in Chicago in June next year, and the U.S. Telecom Association will open its TelecomNEXT conference in Las Vegas next March. The partners say they are splitting up because they couldn’t agree on a change of direction for Supercomm. More about this story can be found in the “Supercomm 2005: The final Supercomm” story link below.
