Moments earlier at the Luncheon, Greg Allshouse, facilities and fleet manager, Comcast Cable Communications, and Jim Hughes, vice president, MSO Sales North America, CommScope, crossed the Thomas Murphy Ballroom stage in the Georgia World Congress Center as the newest inductees into the esteemed SCTE•ISBE Hall of Fame.
