The MassNetComs breakfast panel will explore how Massachusetts network communications companies can best leverage the substantial market development opportunities in China. Specifically, Bai will discuss:

• NetScout’s experience working with channel partners in China;
• Challenges in selling into telecom and large enterprise accounts; and
• Marketing approaches for China.

Additional panelists will examine the market topography, key players and technology infrastructure; outline their experiences with technology partnerships, including business development agents, and the protection of intellectual property in such relationships. The panel will also look at where carriers, enterprises, and technology leaders are investing and disinvesting in China, and what that means for suppliers.
