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 return on broadband investments are the top priorities. By examining the range of technology alternatives available to service providers, the Broadband World Forum Europe provides a unique venue in which to evaluate strategy and make informed decisions.
The World Forum analyzes the market drivers, enabling technologies, revenue-producing services, business models, and network architectures that are making mass-market broadband communications a reality in today's environment. Presented by the IEC and host sponsored by Telefónica, this conference and exhibition examines not only technical challenges and advances, metro Ethernet, FTTP, VDSL, and Wi-MAX, but also emerging services, multimedia applications, business strategies, and unfolding market opportunities for the broadband carrier.
