Broadband networks have faced a rapid and unprecedented demand in recent years, and the attention has shifted to focusing on greater levels of Quality of Service and Quality of Experience rather than just high speed. This mirrors the quality and attentiveness from our members into each project and work, with the end-user at the heart of everything we do.

It has been great to see massive amounts of work ongoing and many projects proceeding to Straw and Final Ballot. Read More.

⚠️ Zoom Update

Goes into effect on 1 July 2022: Zoom is updating the registration confirmation page for meetings and webinars to improve the security of registration links. When an attendee registers for an event, the join link will no longer be displayed on the confirmation page in their web browser. Attendees will find the join link in an email confirmation. This change will help prevent attackers from obtaining a registration link using an email address they do not control personally and limit unwanted guests from joining meetings or webinars.

tl;dr:  After you register for a meeting, look for an email with the link to join. The link will no longer be on the browser page.
