Summit Is For Property Owners And Developers Seeking Edge With Broadband Technologies; Registration Hits 600

Attendance is up sharply this year for the annual Broadband Properties Summit, where leading property companies and REITs evaluate the latest broadband technologies and services.

(PRWEB) September 10, 2006 -- Adding broadband is one way developers and property managers are coping with the recent real estate downturn. The trend is affirmed by advance registration for the Broadband Summit, being held at the Marriott Las Colinas Hotel in Irving, Texas Sept 11-13.

“We have almost 600 registrants as of the morning of September 8,” says Scott DeGarmo, president of Houston-based Broadband Properties Magazine. “That’s up more than 100 from last year. Our exhibit space has been sold out since spring.” The magazine (www.broadbandproperties.com) is the leading source of information for property managers, owners, and developers about fiber to the home and other broadband alternatives for buildings and communities.
