Another nice finding that I made at Supercomm (albeit unfortunately one hour from the close of the show on Thursday) was that the Ontario Government was helping out some Canadian startups by getting a big booth for them (a total of 8 companies were present).  It turns out that the Government of Ontario (through Ontario Exports Inc.) sponsored a Trade Mission at Supercomm 2005, featuring a total of 8 high-tech companies in the telecom space.  The initiative allowed these startups to hold meetings and presentations at the Canadian Consulate, Supercomm and the Chicago area IT Association.  It was nice to run into an exec from Nimcat Networks (the peer-to-peer telephony czars), to get another Dexit demo (the pre-paid fob or sticker innovators) - this time in US soil - or to visit the Plaintree booth (experts in broadband optical wireless).  But even better to see the provincial government step up to the plate in supporting our own startup companies get even more notoriety at one of the biggest telco shows in the world.

Note: I also included a few photos on my album.
