One of the more amazing things about Etel were the people there.  I had grand plans to attend a series of different talks, but instead spent most of the show meeting with people over coffee, in and around the show.  Surj and his team did a terrific job of bringing together a who’s who of the “emerging telecommunications” industry.

Here’s a few of the photographs I shot.  You can find more from me and others organized under the flickr tag etel.
