What does OSP do for you? We build bridges between the technologies of the future and the technologies of the past. We do it via education -- in a big way. We deliver that education via 3 channels: print, web, and live events. And we know you need more. You need education at your fingertips -- where you can digest it on the go. Over a lunch break in your truck; on your daily commute; in an airport waiting for your flight. You need a digital edition of OSP that comes to you live and on demand.

This issue marks the first of a new way you can soak in education that is relevant to our segment of the telecom biz. It aims to bring our OSP standards of a traditional media brand in line with the dynamic nature of digital publishing. (But don’t you worry. Your trusty print OSP will not go away -- it will only keep getting better!)

We don’t claim to be blazing new territories. We’ll leave that to the big publishers. Instead, we’ll be fast followers like many of you, finding economical ways to deliver the latest to our customers in a way that is meaningful and helpful to your professional future.

Will that change the education we deliver? It will only make it better. Our Contributing Author model continues to revolve around a pool of knowledgeable topic-specific experts. These authors live and breathe the OSP -- and can help you become indispensible to your company.

So, check it out at www.ospmag.com/digital. Simply download it to your tablet, smartphone, or laptop and enjoy. After you get familiar with it, let us know your opinion. It’s our continued effort to help you bridge the digital divide -- via education.

To building new bridges…
