In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, host Brad Hine is joined by Jeff Boozer, VP of Broadband Strategy at ETI Software, and Don Eben, CEO of Core Consults, for a conversation on what it really takes for broadband providers to succeed with artificial intelligence. While AI is being hailed as the future of telecom operations, the trio cuts through the buzz to explore the foundational elements that make AI effective—namely, high-quality data, robust integration, and a strategic focus on interoperability. Drawing on their experience across the broadband ecosystem, Jeff and Don explain why many providers are struggling to implement AI in a meaningful way. The discussion covers how to break down legacy data silos, the importance of defining a “gold” data standard, and how to move from isolated tools to an enterprise-level data and integration strategy. They emphasize that AI should not be viewed as a human replacement but rather as an enabler for faster, smarter decision-making—from customer service to network maintenance to executive dashboards. The conversation also explores the growing preference for best-in-class systems over end-to-end platforms and how this shift is driving the need for interoperability across OSS, BSS, GIS, and beyond. As Brad notes, AI success doesn't begin with the model—it begins with the data architecture and the ability to integrate that data cleanly and contextually.

Rouzbeh Yassini-Fard, founder of LANcity, author of The Accidental Network, and widely known as the “father of the cable modem”, shares the story of how broadband was built and the lessons it offers for today's leaders navigating AI and emerging technologies.   Arriving in the U.S. with $750 in savings, Yassini-Fard envisioned carrying “voice, data and video… over one cable instead of two” at a time when few believed homes would ever need to be connected. Over nine years, with just 13 employees and seven consultants, he built a working product, proved its reliability, and persuaded the cable industry to adopt it. By 1996, his team had driven device costs from $8,000 down to under $300 and helped create DOCSIS, the global broadband standard, released royalty-free to speed adoption.   Reflecting on today's tech landscape, he cautions: “It's not just really money… you need more than that. It's a proven prototype and a product that actually does the talking.” Valuations without execution, he warns, will accelerate failure.   Key lessons include: Prototype before scale: Capital is wasted without demonstrable performance in real environments. Treat infrastructure as strategy: Broadband enabled Silicon Valley, Netflix, telehealth, and remote work; leaders must model today's energy, compute, and connectivity constraints when sizing AI opportunities. Open standards matter: Royalty-free interoperability can turn a niche idea into an industry platform. Execution trumps valuation: LANcity beat Motorola and Intel with disciplined engineering, resilient supply chains, and relentless customer trials. Anchor to customer economics: Early users became advocates because the modem delivered day-to-day value. Looking forward, Yassini-Fard stresses that AI and robotics will stall without addressing power and infrastructure: “For some of these AI companies to be successful, they need gigawatts of power… it takes 10 years to build a nuclear reactor that gives you one.” He highlights quantum computing and network management as the next frontiers, and calls for workforce retraining in mathematics, physics, and the skilled trades that sustain digital systems.   For executives evaluating platform bets or emerging technologies, this conversation offers a grounded blueprint: start with the prototype, model the infrastructure honestly, choose standards deliberately, and align capital with execution discipline.  

With his performance in The Smash Machine is this The Rock's big push for an Oscar? Why on earth has MI6 joined Instagram? Who deserves the credit for Warner Brothers' sudden box office hot streak? Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson has bulldozed his way from WWE to Hollywood megastar. But with The Smash Machine, an A24 production, is he finally angling for Academy recognition, or is this just another blockbuster in disguise? MI6 is now on Instagram. James Bond may have Q, but does British intelligence really need Reels? Is this about public trust, recruitment… or just trying to look cool online? At Warner Brothers, Pamela Abdy and Michael De Luca were on the chopping block but after a patient strategy and a bold slate of films, they suddenly look like the studio's saviours. What does this say about Hollywood risk-taking, storytelling, and the lost art of playing the long game?

In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, host Brad Hine sits down with Drew Beverage, Chief Operating Officer of 360 Broadband, from the floor at Mountain Connect in Denver. Drew shares the story of 360 Broadband's evolution from a fixed wireless provider to a hybrid network operator bringing fiber to some of the most rural areas in Oklahoma and Texas. With 96 competitors in their expansive 12,000-square-mile footprint, Drew emphasizes that price is not their differentiator—customer experience is. The conversation explores how 360 Broadband is using innovative tools and AI-powered platforms like GoCare, QC.AI, Actifai, and Sonar to meet customers where they are, proactively communicate during outages, and personalize service at scale. Drew walks through the operational benefits of text-based support, intelligent call scoring, and AI-driven self-service sales that happen even after midnight—all backed by real-time data and seamless system integrations. Listeners will also hear Drew reflect on his personal journey from tower climber to telecom COO, his early days in the family business, and the leadership values that continue to guide his team today. With his trademark humility and wit, Drew offers insight into the changing broadband landscape, from BEAD funding complexities to the future of rural connectivity, and why an open ecosystem of best-in-class vendors is key to staying competitive.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 18ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1989 chuireadh 12 British Airways eitilt ó Éirinn chuig an Bhreatain de bharr gur chuaigh 60% de a fhoireann chábáin ar stailc. I 2000 bhí an rialtas fórsáilte chun an t-áras I gCiarraí leis an chostas de 1.5 milliún punt a úsáid mar rud turasóireacht. Thóg siad an t-áras ó mhangaire drugaí. I 2007 dhiúltaigh pleanáil do chomhairle chontae Tiobraid Árann do stáisiún cumhachta i Faiche Ró. Dúirt an chomhairle an fáth ar dhiúltaigh siad é ná go raibh sé romhór, bhí sé an costasach agus an iompair de na rudaí. I 2013 bhí an luas den bhanda leathan san Aonach Urmhumhan chun méadú ó 8MB chuig 70MB gach soicind. Dúradh go raibh an luas chun méadú chuig 100MB i dhá bhliain. Bhí Eircom ag obair ar scéim de 500 milliúin euro agus go raibh an tAonach Urmhumhan an tosaíocht. Sin Mel C le I Turn To You – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2000. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1982 tháinig sé amach gur ainmnigh Learpholl ceithre shráid tar éis The Beatles. John Lennon Drive, Paul McCartney Way, George Harrison Close agus Ringo Starr Drive. I 1992 shaolaigh Courtney Love iníon darbh ainm Frances Bean Cobain agus de bharr sin bhí Kurt Cobain mar athair anois. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Edward Norton I Meiriceá I 1969 agus rugadh aisteoir Patrick Swayze I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1952 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 18th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1989: 12 British Airways flights from Ireland to ENgland were cancelled after 60percent of their cabin crew went on strike. 2000: The government was being pressed to use the £1.5 million Kerry mansion seized from a notorious Dutch Drug Dealer as a tourist resource. 2007 - SOUTH Tipperary County Council was refused planning permission for a proposed energy plant near the village of Rosegreen. The Council cited the rural location, the size of the project, the quantity of raw materials proposed, and transport problems as reasons for its decision.  2013 – Broadband speeds in Nenagh are set to increase from around 8MB to up to 70MB per second by the end of this month. Speeds should further increase to around 100MB over the next two years. Eircom is working on a national €500 million broadband scheme, in which Nenagh has been prioritised.  That was Mel C with I Turn To You – the biggest song on this day in 2000 Onto music news on this day In 1982 The City of Liverpool named four Streets after the fab four: John Lennon Drive, Paul McCartney Way, George Harrison Close and Ringo Starr Drive. 1992 Kurt Cobain became a father when his wife Courtney Love gave birth to a daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Edward Norton was born in America in 1969 and actor Patrick Swayze was born in America on this day in 1952 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
