Another semester of great speakers in the Telecomm Colloquium

Where did the summer go?
The first week of the Fall semester 2006 is behind us now and once again it is time for the schedule of the Telecommunications Colloquium to be released.

My colleague David Waterman has coordinated this series for several years now, and again has a great line up for us. Not only does it highlight how many different things the Telecommunications faculty at IU are doing...but we also have several very interesting guests lined up to speak at well.
