networking) technologies that allow for a greater degree of flexibility in
the creation, management, delivery, and monetization of new-generation
communications services. Beginning March 1, Light Reading will have a special
week of coverage, SPIT Week, sponsored by Nokia Siemens Networks.

SPIT Week will be followed by a series of SPIT-related Webinars and a
SPIT-related virtual event, "Three OSS Imperatives: Customer, Cost & Cloud,"
scheduled for April 20. For information on sponsorship and speaking
