Coffee with Craig and James Episode No. 106: Jon Arnold, Opkalla

The big carriers are replacing copper daily, and it's important for the channel to keep tabs.

Thanksgiving is here and Craig and James have an aural feast for you! Just as good as turkey, am I right?

First up is our latest edition of “Where in the World is Edward Gately?” Our intrepid reporter talks with industry analyst Jon Arnold about how rampant copper retirement is impacting the channel.

Later in the show, James catches up with Jim Campbell, managing partner at Opkalla, an agent partner. Campbell describes what it was like to set up his business and offers advice to peers.

All that plus Craig and James take a look back at the recently concluded Channel Partners Conference & Expo. Then, a look forward at next year’s events.

Finally, Craig challenges James to some channel trivia that goes back to his pre-teen years. Don’t worry, he doesn’t get embarrassed too badly.
