Brown The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 is having a major impact on enterprise networks and how employees are using telecom services. Yet, it's amazing how quickly companies and people have adapted to this situation and been able to transform how they use the available communications services, professionally and personally. In this 9-minute part one of the two-part podcast series, Andrew Brown, LB3's Managing Partner and TC2 Chairman, and TC2's Joe Schmidt discuss how the global pandemic is impacting telecom usage and highlight some of the steps you'll want to take to keep costs in check without limiting service performance. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/telecoms-mobile-cable-communications/1169190/how-covid-19-is-impacting-enterprise-telecom-part-1-podcast?email_access=on -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

Brown In this part two of the two-part podcast series, Andrew Brown, LB3's Managing Partner and TC2 Chairman, and TC2's Joe Schmidt discuss some of the novel contractual and sourcing issues facing enterprises during the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. Force majeure, for example, is a contract provision meant to address events that are never going to happen . like a global pandemic. It's also doubtful that service providers contemplated "business downturn" might apply to nearly all customers. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/telecoms-mobile-cable-communications/1169194/how-covid-19-is-impacting-enterprise-telecom-part-2-podcast?email_access=on -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
