Infrastructure Mix and Killer Apps for Mobile Broadband to be Debated Next Week at the Broadband World Forum Europe in Paris


    The International Engineering Consortium (IEC) will present key
    players at the Broadband World Forum Europe to discuss the importance
    of content and mobility next week at the CNIT La Defense in Paris 9-12
    October.

    The Thursday Hot Seat Session entitled, "The Emerging Mobile
    Context for Broadband Content," will explore what the mobile/fixed
    ecosphere will look like as well as the optimal enabling technologies
    and infrastructures behind it. The focus will be on how service
    providers can best prepare themselves for this market environment.

    IEC Vice President of Content Tom Costello stated, "This
    contentious Hot Seat Session promises to generate both heat and light
    on the mobile/fixed ecosphere both in terms of the best enabling
    technologies and innovating broadband content services."

    Moderator Angelo Morelli, Executive Partner of Accenture's
    Communications & High Tech Operating Group and global lead for Service
    Delivery Platform, further commented, "This Hot Seat discussion will
    take a look at the technology realities behind fixed/mobile broadband
    services: what technologies are enabling the mobile broadband
    environment, the prospects for fixed-mobile convergence, and the role
    that the legacy wireline network is going to play in all this."

    Representing differing views at the session is Motorola Networks
    and Enterprise's Bilal Saleh, who is Director of Europe, Middle East,
    Africa, and Latin America Caribbean, Application Services and Yossi
    Saad, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Actelis
    Networks.

    Morelli continued, "Attendees should come away with a better
    understanding of where we stand in achieving all this, where things
    are headed, and how carriers are taking advantages of the emerging
    opportunity afforded by mobile broadband and fixed/mobile
    convergence."

    More than 250 industry experts will speak in nearly 70 educational
    tutorials, plenary panels, and sessions at the Broadband World Forum
    Europe and its co-located event, the WiMAX Global ComForum.

    All industry professionals are invited to attend the Broadband
    World Forum Europe with a complimentary Exhibits Plus Pass available
    at the event.
