title	Q3 Newsletter

At the end of August, our new Broadband Forum Executive Advisory Board (EAB) held its second session. The board’s 16 global member companies participated in discussions to help drive the Forum’s strategic direction, fulfil service providers’ future investment needs, and ultimately deliver greater value to subscribers.

We partnered with the Fiber Broadband Association at this year’s Fiber Connect in August, hosting BASe Technology Deep Dives which both educated attendees and drove important technical discussions. These sessions explored the technical challenges and opportunities ahead for operators looking to leverage broadband from the connected fiber user to the data center and everything in between.

A word from Robin Mersh, Broadband Forum CEO:

"Our Q3 meeting saw us venture into now familiar territory with a virtual backdrop for the second successive meeting. Despite the lack of face-to-face interaction, our meetings are as productive and fruitful as ever. The ease at which the meetings are being conducted over video further highlights the role that fixed broadband has played in keeping us connected throughout the recent uncertain months.

This quarter, we bid farewell and thank you to Broadband Forum President Tom Starr who was an important member of our family for more than a quarter of a Century. This transition has seen us welcome two new additions to the Board (Ding Hai of China Unicom and Mike Talbert of Verizon – welcome to them both!) and Bernd Hesse was named as the new President.

This meeting also saw the launch of a new project. The open source User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Speed Test will be a game-changer for broadband measurements and gigabit broadband..." Read more.
