These are some of my personal notes from the first annual Telework Summit, held November 10-11, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. You can also download my entire collection of notes as a PDF. If you do, please share them with a friend!

Business Resiliency Panel Discussion

René True, Connected Nation
George Cottman, Comcast Business Services

Connected Nation: 35 million US workers want to telework.
Potential telework employees: retirees, homemakers, adults with disabilities
Telework creates a demand for broadband.

South Korea is among the highest in broadband adoption.

A small business without a business continuity plan that experiences a major disaster will go out of business in 2 years.  Telework should be a part of that plan.

Yet another great panel discussion with sparse notes… I’m starting to think a voice recorder for the panel discussions is in order! René has a real drive to help people and is a great advocate of broadband and telework. George knows broadband inside out. What more could you ask for?
