Building the Broadband Economy 2006, June 8-9, 2006 - New York City
The 2006 edition of the Intelligent Community Forum's Building the
Broadband Economy conference will take place on Thursday-Friday, June
8-9, 2006 in New York City.
Keynote speakers will include Jerry MacArthur Hultin, president of
Polytechnic University and former undersecretary of the US Navy, James
Balsillie, Chairman of Research in Motion and the creator of the

private sectors. It also attracts sponsorship from leading technology
