O'Reilly ETel cancelled
The ETel Web site is terminally terse:
Update: Lee Dryburgh's take on the cancellation:
MORE UPDATA: Lee Dryburgh is trying to put together a conference called EmergingComm to fill ETel's void. Target date March-ish.
Due to changed circumstances since ETel 2008 was announced,Thus ends one of the best meetings in the field! Does anybody know what caused O'Reilly to pull the plug?
we have decided not to move forward with the conference,
which was scheduled for March 3-4, 2008.
Update: Lee Dryburgh's take on the cancellation:
It would be a complete understatement to say that I was extremely
disappointed when I heard earlier that ETel 2008 had been
cancelled. In fact I was utterly pi**ed.

That is the second "e-Conference" that O'Reilly has cancelled in the past three months. Perhaps they perceive too little interest (not likely) or they aren't getting the rate of return they expect?
