The Broadband World Forum Asia 2005 drew more than 2,800 registrants eager to learn the latest broadband practices presented in a series of keynote speeches and plenary panels, as well as numerous workshops and sessions.
The World Forum was accompanied by a two-day technology exhibition of the latest broadband services, solutions, and products, which featured more than 40 of the world's leading manufacturers and producers.
"This program continues to gain acceptance and grow in the industry-it's a strong indicator that carrier, supplier, and content professionals are keenly interested in learning the best strategies for broadband,'' said John Janowiak, Senior Director of the IEC. "As this conference showed, new developments are always taking place, so keeping current is critical for business leaders who want to make informed decisions."
The Broadband World Forum Asia 2005 was officially sponsored by NTT and presented by the IEC.
