Title: ZEN and Openstreet Visit - 18/6
Post by: kjw on June 17, 2021, 07:35:50 AM
Morning All,

I think this will be similar to the other BT video that was found recently, but could be interesting none the less.

Sign up link here - https://www.zen.co.uk/partners/openstreet-live

I received a link through on Monday to join the event after signing up a few weeks back.

Thanks for that


It's not 100% clear if that is a streaming event or in person.   
With the event being tomorrow Im not sure if they will have time to process requests.   
Even if it is streaming, I prob wont be able to attend as I have a medical appt which is too late to change now. :/
Hopefully someone will be able to take notes and share info :)

Okay maybe "clear" is not the word, more "implied" from the wording.

I did wonder if they was just going to replay the same part we have already seen with just a different Q+A.

They implied it would be live, guess we will find out tomorrow.

That bit did seem pre-recorded to begin with, so I suspect they will.

Shame if it is, was hoping to see the missing OLT bit from the video... the guy references going to the OLT but jumps straight to the street.

Like I said at the time, it seemed weird that he only showed where the different passive joins in the network are but none of the active equipment other than the ONT.

Hopefully it will be recorded and, eventually, made available for viewing post-event.

That is the very video we are referencing... I suspect they will just play this exact video again but rebrand it Zen with a different Q+A at the end.

Its via Youtube, link below if you wanted to watch.

*EDIT* It actually is live and different from the BT video! Same host though.

Damn - I was busy and trying to do something else at the same time so was playing it in the background, thinking I  could watch it again properly later.     However I'm now seeing that its set to private, so it looks like they don't want it on general view.   

I have another appt soon so dont have chance to play, so it will have to wait until later.   In the meantime I will respect their wishes and remove the url in the above post.

Seems a bit premature to remove the link, what if they make it public later?

I suspect it will reappear on their channel once its been edited appropriately.

To be fair it was pretty much the same information as the BT video but was fully live for the entire duration.

The OLT being missing from the BT video was explained, they do not have one on site it seems... they did show a life sized demonstration of it this time though!

I was rushing as I had another appt and took what I thought was the best decision at the time.    Due to the fact they'd set it private, indicated to me that they didn't want the link on public display..  as such I respected that.   

I hope they do republish it as I would like the opportunity to view it properly..   The first 5 mins of the video was nothing but a countdown of nothingness, so I would think they would like to edit it before they do publish it.

I tried very hard to get direct link to the video, but ended up having to post the ispreview link, maybe thats why I couldnt link it directly?

At least give us the name of the channel so we can check for it. :)

From the original link there is nothing but a black box saying the video is set to private. It doesn't even link to their channel.

I got their channel by searching on YouTube which is:-
https://www.youtube.com/user/zeninternetuk

At least give us the name of the channel so we can check for it. :)

Thank you, that is much more professional looking than the older video.

Yeah this looks much more end-user focused than the other one which seemed to be aimed at a very different demographic.
