Our friend, Ben Forer, needs your help. It will only take 5 minutes…and may change the world.
I first met been, the son of a close friend, when my wife, Rosanne and his father, Dan, were working together on Touched by an Angel. Ben and I spent a lot of time together, back when he was 10 as Rosanne and Dan also produced 2 episodes of Nightline on then President Clinton. Ben and I even visited the White House together.
Ben is now at Syracuse University in New York state. My how the time does fly!
So, as part of his studies, Ben has submitted an entry for the Cisco I-Prize. The competition is for innovative ideas involving Cisco Technology. In simple terms, his idea is to create an interactive TV Network for colleges and universities. He calls it CTPN which stands for the Cisco TelePresence Network.
There are less than 24 hours remaining in the voting and he just needs to get it in the top 200 for it to be considered by the Cisco committee.
Register with your name and email and then respond to the confirmation email you receive.
You will be taken to the website. At the top of the page, you will see a box that says Search. Enter the letter CTPN (for the Cisco TelePresence Network) and it will take you to the appropriate entry.
Next to the entry is a + plus and a – minus sign. Please just click on the + plus sign. That’s all it takes.
If Ben is selected he can win up to $250,000 to develop his idea.
Thanks !
