摘要

The Telecommunications Industry Assn. expanded, adding 10 corporate members and enlarging its board, it said Tues. TIA sees the additions as building on 2006's debut of the Globalcomm trade show, and presaging a bigger buzz for the 2007 Globalcomm in Chicago. Motorola, Nortel, Panasonic and Siemens now sit on the board, said TIA, also enumerating 10 new member companies: Altima, BrokerBin.com, DSS, Everyone.Net, Foundry Networks, Innovative Teknology, Mobile ESPN, Ruckus Wireless, Sparnex and PFU Systems. 揟he [Globalcomm] show will grow,?a TIA spokesperson said. More than 200 exhibitors have signed up for 136,000-plus sq ft. of space, said TIA Pres. Matt Flanigan. TIA hopes having AT&T and other industry leaders on the floor will help Globalcomm hit its 20,000 attendance prediction. AT&T is down for 1,600 sq ft. on the 2007 show floor, TIA said. Globalcomm 2007 will run June 18-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
