MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow dropped by NBC Universal’s booth at The Cable Show last Thursday (she also participated in Cable Positive’s POP Awards), so it seemed like a good opportunity to drop by and ask her one question.

The Opening General Session has begun and it was kicked off by a keynote from Kyle McSlarrow, NCTA’s President & CEO.
He reviewed the progress that cable has made over the last decade and outlined how we’re moving forward.
The truth is we really don’t know what the future holds . . . we have merely an imperfect glimpse of what a truly connected nation would look like. But it is an exciting vision, and our industry fully intends to do its part to lead.
Competition and our willingness to invest and to take risks have made every aspect of our business more innovative . . . more nimble . . . more responsive to and focused on the consumer.
All of our movement into the future, he said, must be fueled by efforts to head “wherever the consumer wants to go.”

Here is the second half of the video tour of Broadband Nation. Part One can be seen here.
I visited the exhibit again yesterday afternoon and it was remarkable how much progress had been made just in the previous 24 hours. I believe they’ll be ready to go as of this morning. When you get a chance to take the tour, take a moment to appreciate all the hard work that went into putting it together.
