In the current economic climate, carriers must make careful decisions about how and where to expand, what technologies to deploy, and which business models make the most sense. Solid customer service, winning applications, and favorable ROI on broadband investments are the top priorities. By examining the range of technology alternatives available to service providers, the Broadband World Forum 2004 provides a unique venue in which to evaluate strategy and make informed decisions.
The Broadband World Forum 2004, officially sponsored by KT, will provide an in-depth examination of broadband technology developments, deployments, challenges, services, and applications with particular relevance for the Asian market. The focus will be on analyzing the business case and real-world experiences of leading service providers-such as KT-who have achieved success in making broadband services a reality.
