environment, tower operators need to be particularly attentive to factors that
will assist the company in raising capital. From mergers and acquisitions, to
available financing options, to the deals getting done and what valuations
tower operators can expect, this panel will discuss the state of the capital
markets and the availability of capital for the wireless industry.
-- The Ultimate Power Lunch -- With environmental sustainability on the
minds of businesses everywhere, this session will address key facets of the
power industry -- generators, fuel cells, solar, solar components, and wind --
and examine their suitability for different applications in wireless.
