Notre Reseau 

Kees Rovers was invited to give a presentation at the broadbandevent in Lannion (France). Unfortunately Kees wasn’t able to come and give the presentation in Lannion because of the strike of the railway workers in France.

Therefor Kees Rovers recorded his presentation at his home office in Nuenen (the Netherlands) and the organization broadcasted it at the broadbandevent. In the end, Kees Rovers was (virtually) present at the Lannion broadbandevent.

You can watch his presentation here.
