The 2010 NAB Show will debut Destination Broadband, a dynamic new exhibit area focusing on advances and applications for broadband technology, April 12 - 15 in Las Vegas. Destination Broadband, featuring more than 50 leading-edge companies and a presentation theater, will examine the entire online video experience within the broadband ecosystem from back end infrastructure to revolutionary technologies for the home.

"We are excited to present Destination Broadband as a showcase for the companies that are leading innovation in this important area."
