Investing in Broadband in the Access Network Conference
April 24 2007
Marlborough Hotel
London
Demand from enterprise and consumers is rising: they want more bandwidth, more reliably, and the capacity of the local infrastructure is being stretched. New construction programmes are needed to build high-bandwidth connections to the end-users or operators will be unable to deliver the advanced services they are developing. This conference for CEOs, CTOs and CFOs in incumbent and competitive operators will compare capex strategies and return on investment in competing access technologies, advanced forms of DSL versus coaxial cable, fibre to the neighbourhood, the kerb or the premises, plus emerging wireless technologies. It will assess the affect regulatory and business structures have on the viability of different policies.
Speakers include;
Viviane Reding, European Commissioner, Information, Society and Media, European Commission
Steen Clausen, Managing Director, ECTA
Kaisu Karvala, Chair GSM Europe, President, TeliaSonera
Steve Robertson, CEO, BT Openreach
Dave Schaeffer, CEO, Cogent
Andrew Heaney, Director of Competition Policy, Broadband, Ofcom
