FAQs
Q: Is this the official TIA 2015 conference website?
A: No. The conference took place in Dallas in June 2015 and its site is long gone. tia2015.org is now an independent journal on the same subject, with no link to the Telecommunications Industry Association or the former organizers.
Q: Can I register, sponsor or speak at an event here?
A: No. We do not run events, and there is nothing to register for or sponsor. For the record, all of the conference's own registration and sponsorship programs ended with the event in 2015.
Q: Where can I find the 2015 program or the speaker presentations?
A: We do not hold or publish them. Our Tracks and Workshops section covers the same topics in newly written articles, not as a record of what was said on stage.
Q: What does "Network of the Future" mean here?
A: It is the theme the original event used and the one we have kept: the combination of mobility, software-defined networking, the Internet of Things and dynamic infrastructure that supports modern digital life.
Q: Why do you write about casinos and betting on a telecom site?
A: Because the technology is interesting. Sportsbooks care about latency, live-dealer studios push real-time video to its limits, and a casino floor is a complex private network. The sector makes a practical case study, and we cover it in our Casino Tech section.
Q: Do you take bets or run a casino?
A: No. We are a publication. We do not accept wagers or handle money, and nothing on this site should be read as betting or financial advice. The laws on gaming vary from place to place, so check what applies where you live.
Q: How accurate are your articles?
A: We check facts against public records and technical sources, and we use hedged language when figures are estimates. If you spot a mistake, please write to us and we will correct it.
Q: Where do your photos come from?
A: Nearly all come from Wikimedia Commons under free licenses, and each one is credited under the image with its author and license.
Q: Can I quote an article?
A: Yes, short quotations are welcome if you name tia2015.org as the source. For anything longer, please ask us first through the contact page.
